2023年9月27日: 海洋无脊椎动物学 students are preparing for the Benthic Underwater 社区 Survey (BUCS) project "cube" deployment to monitor for marine invasive species at 马萨诸塞州海事网赌平台. Organisms will grow on plexiglass surfaces called settlement plates that are attached to the PVC cube frame. These settlement plates allow students to observe weekly changes in relative species abundance over the course of the semester. This project is intended to add quantitative value to the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management's citizen-science Marine Invader Monitoring and Information Collaborative (MIMIC) program, 哪个MSSEP已经参加了几年.

2023年8月10日和博士一起. 克里斯汀斯本, MSSEP students Jessica Rotondo and Aidan Webb participated in the MA Coastal Zone Management rapid assessment survey for marine invasive species. They traveled along the northeast coast sampling for invaders at marinas. A group of 30 scientists from around the country came to Mass Maritime to process the marine samples.
