Description
The NCBS is continuously conducting field and laboratory research in a variety of coastal ecosystems related to impacts of climate change, habitat restoration, and anthropogenic (human-caused) disturbances on the ecology of coastal habitats. We are always happy to seek field assistance from undergrad students that are interested in aspects of marine biological research or seeking to learn more about the coastal ecosystems of Florida.
