Welcoming our research assistants!

I am pleased to introduce two of our undergraduate assistants for the project. Nadia, Mackenzie, and Brady have shown eagerness and a passion for science. They started on this project very recently and have already began to produce valuable data for us. We are excited to have them continue with us into next semester. See below for some more information about Nadia:

Hi, my name is Nadia Abeido and I am currently a senior majoring in Marine Biology at Nova Southeastern University. I am planning on pursuing a master's degree in Marine Biology after a year of absence once I graduate, with an emphasis on marine mammalogy or marine ecology. During my time studying at NSU, I have gained a greater understanding and appreciation for marine life and their ecosystems. I look forward to expanding my knowledge within this field and applying it towards marine research and conservation.

About This Project

Corals are bleaching at unprecedented rates due to global warming. The Caribbean has lost 70% of hard coral cover since the 1970s. However, some corals are more resilient to bleaching than others because they are associated with heat-tolerant symbiont algae. We want to examine coral-symbiont associations in the Caribbean to determine which corals in the community are most likely to survive future bleaching events and if these corals are in need of restoration.
