Students present SSI-sponsored research on tidal waters
Ten University of New England (UNE) undergraduate researchers and four graduate students participated in the New England Estuarine Research Society (NEERS) conference held May 1-3, 2014 in Salem, Mass. The conference focused on the science and management of tidal waters. The students gave talks and presented posters based on research funded by UMaine’s Sustainability Solutions Initiative, a program of the Senator George J. Mitchell Center. The presentations covered a range of topics, many focusing on the Saco River Estuary including research on the use of the estuary by fish and birds as well as threats from invasive species and nitrogen pollution.
