2025 Palmetto Alligator Research and Management Symposium Held at SREL Conference Center
The 2025 Palmetto Alligator Research and Management Symposium (PARMS) was hosted at the Savannah River Ecology Laboratory’s Conference Center, where researchers, wildlife managers, and students gathered to share current work in alligator and crocodilian research. The two-day event featured presentations on movement ecology, environmental stress, microplastic ingestion, and more, culminating in a keynote by Dr. Steven Platt, who reflected on over four decades of crocodilian conservation around the world.
The symposium was coordinated in part by SREL’s own Dr. Ben Parrott, whose efforts helped ensure a smooth and engaging experience for all attendees. With a packed schedule of talks, poster sessions, and discussions, PARMS 2025 created an inviting space for collaboration, learning, and future research planning in the field of herpetology.
