Katherine Mansfield, director of the Marine Turtle Research Group at UCF, has received a new boat from a trio of donors. The new boat replaces a 1976 craft at the end of its lifespan and offers increased efficiency and safety for the research team.
“I need to know that the boat is safe and functional. If we’re getting knocked around by the wind and the engine conks out, it’s dangerous for us and the animals. I know this one is going to hold up under the stress. It essentially ensures our long-term projects continue,” Mansfield said.
