Coverage of Red Tide Grant
Several news outlets noted the news that UMaine has been awarded a grant to study early detection methods for red tide, a toxin found in some mudflat where shellfish are harvested and which can lead to a potentially fatal human illness. Portland’s WGME TV station covered the announcement, and the Boston Herald ran an Associated Press story on its website. Laurie Connell of UMaine’s School of Marine Sciences is the lead researcher on the grant.
