NASA’s Kennedy Space Center is known for its launch pads, rocket launches and cutting-edge technology -- it’s also a national wildlife refuge! The center’s surrounding ecosystem supports one of the highest numbers of threatened and endangered species anywhere in the nation, and NASA has a team of biologists whose mission is to protect and preserve these areas. Biologists Eric Reyier, PhD, and Bonnie Ahr share how their ecological work contributes the agency’s larger mission and how they personally ended up on a boat in the Florida wetlands doing exciting work for NASA.
