Following up on the 2023 pilot project, coastal ecology and microbial ecology labs collaborate! Led by Mary-Margaret McKinney (ICS PhD Candidate, ECU), Rachel Gittman (Asst. Professor, ECU), and AP! Peralta Lab graduate students Kelsey Coates and Michael Sioson join this year's team! Here are some photos of the donor marsh sediment microbes and salinity pre-treatment before transplanting into 18 fringing marsh sites.
Congratulations to graduate student Dejah Smith and undergrads Glory Kidimbu, Tete Narh-Mensah, and Kai Davis (not pictured)!!!
Headed to the Croatan National Forest to enjoy flowering pitcher plants and saw a spotted turtle too!!! Thanks to Emeritus Professor and dear friend Trip Lamb for taking former ECU prof and friend Chris Balakrishnan and AP out for biodiversity outing!
