From the Tallahassee Democrat:
Anne Rudloe, a noted marine biologist, environmental activist and author, lost her battle with cancer Friday and died peacefully at her Panacea home.

Born in Virginia in 1947, Rudloe committed her life to learning about and protecting marine-based ecologies and species. Rudloe and her husband, Jack, are known for running the Gulf Specimen Marine Laboratory, an independent nonprofit environmental center and aquarium in Panacea.

The news of Rudloe's passing quickly sparked prayer wishes and condolences Saturday from Tallahassee residents and former students Rudloe taught at Florida State University in marine biology courses.
