Mecklenburg's funeral will be Friday at 11 a.m. at St. Francis Cabrini Catholic Church, which is located at 5030 Mariner Boulevard in Spring Hill.

Each year researchers track the bay scallop population through dive surveys at various locations. Doing this is tricky since the animal's lifespan is only one to one and a half years.

With limited time to cover all of the state's bay scallop habitats, molluscan fisheries biologists with the FWC's Fish and Wildlife Research Institute (FWRI) are turning to other people who know a thing or two about scallops: recreational harvesters.

Information harvesters provide will be compiled to complement the researchers' annual population data.  With the data these recreational harvesters provide, biologists hope to gain a greater understanding of the species' biology and range limitations.

To make public participation as easy as possible, researchers are going online with a Web survey at http://svy.mk/bayscallops.
