Send us Fan MailIt’s INTERVIEWSDAY!This week on INTERVIEWSDAY (Interview Tuesday), we visit with Mendel Graeber, director of the Alabama Aquarium at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab.This is not a traditional sit-down interview. Mendel takes us on a walking tour through part of the aquarium while explaining its history, its organization around Alabama’s major coastal ecosystems, and its place within the Sea Lab’s larger research and educational mission.Along the way, you’ll hear the sounds of the aquarium and its visitors as we explore exhibits representing the Mobile-Tensaw River Delta, Mobile Bay and several of the animals that inhabit these remarkable environments.Among the topics we discuss:How the creation of the Marine Environmental Sciences Consortium led to the development of today’s Dauphin Island Sea Lab.The Sea Lab’s acquisition and reuse of facilities from the former Air Force installation on Dauphin Island.Why the Alabama Aquarium opened in 1998 and how it provides the public with a window into the Sea Lab’s work.Mendel’s first experience at the Sea Lab as a high-school student in its month-long summer course.Discovery Hall Programs and the field-trip, outreach and residential opportunities available to students.How schools from Tennessee and across the country can arrange educational visits to the Sea Lab.The scholarships and community support that may help students participate in Sea Lab programs.How the aquarium follows a north-to-south journey through four major coastal ecosystems: the Mobile-Tensaw River Delta, Mobile Bay, Dauphin Island and the northern Gulf of Mexico.The planned renovation that will extend the aquarium’s journey into the oceanic zone and the deep Gulf.The life-size mosasaur model suspended above the aquarium lobby.The Mobile Bay watershed and its connections to Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia and Tennessee.The Sea Lab’s longstanding research partnership with the Alabama Deep Sea Fishing Rodeo.Why the aquarium completed a major interpretive renovation in 2023.E.O. Wilson’s childhood connection to Mobile and the Mobile-Tensaw Delta.Baby alligators, invasive nutria and the recovery of the region’s alligator population.The Rays of the Bay Touch Tank, including cownose rays, Atlantic stingrays and bonnethead sharks.Flounder camouflage, male seahorses, live shrimp, blue crabs and other animals found in and around Mobile Bay.The creation of Gaillard Island from dredged material and its role in the recovery of the brown pelican.Fish-tagging technology, oyster reefs and the growth of Alabama oyster aquaculture.The important distinction between scientific research, environmental advocacy, restoration and regulation.Mendel’s tour demonstrates that the Alabama Aquarium is much more than a collection of exhibits. It is the public face of a major marine research and educational institution—and a place where visitors can better understand the extraordinary environments surrounding Dauphin Island, Mobile Bay and the northern Gulf of Mexico.🎙️ CreditsHosted by Big John SummersProduced by Summers Media EnterprisesFoley/Sound Effects recorded by Big John Summers📣 Follow & SupportFollow Dauphin Island Diaries on Facebook, Instagram, and X for additional content, including on-location videos, historical interpretation, interviews, and stories from across Dauphin Island and the Alabama Gulf Coast.🔗 Links🐠 Dauphin Island Sea Lab and Alabama Aquarium:https://www.disl.edu/🧢 Merch & Apparel:https://www.summersmediaenterprises.com/merch📘 Follow on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/DauphinIslandDiaries/📘 Check out The Tennessee History Nerd:https://www.summersmediaenterprises.com/podcasts/tthnMake sure you’re following Dauphin Island Diaries in your podcast app. Just tap the Follow button, and every new episode will be waiting for you when it is released.
