2023年9月27日: 海洋无脊椎动物学 students are preparing for the Benthic Underwater 社区 Survey (BUCS) project "cube" deployment to monitor for marine invasive species at 马萨诸塞州海事足球买球app. Organisms will grow on plexiglass surfaces called settlement plates that are attached to the PVC cube frame. These settlement plates allow students to observe weekly changes in relative species abundance over the course of the semester. This project is intended to add quantitative value to the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management's citizen-science Marine Invader Monitoring and Information Collaborative (MIMIC) program, 哪个MSSEP已经参加了几年.

2023年8月10日和博士一起. 克里斯汀斯本, MSSEP students Jessica Rotondo and Aidan Webb participated in the MA Coastal Zone Management rapid assessment survey for marine invasive species. They traveled along the northeast coast sampling for invaders at marinas. A group of 30 scientists from around the country came to Mass Maritime to process the marine samples.

2023年8月3日: 8月1日，一个来自美国的代表团.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) came to the Wareham Middle School to view the stormwater investigative work being conducted by the 巴泽兹湾 Stormwater Collaborative.  The 巴泽兹湾 Stormwater Collaborative is a partnership between the 巴泽兹湾 NEP, 马萨诸塞州海事足球买球app, 和八个秃鹰湾镇(伯恩), Wareham, 马里恩, Mattapoisett, Acushnet, 就, 达特茅斯, 和韦斯特波特).   The Stormwater Collaborative is an excellent example of how NEPs can promote efficient partnerships to meet our collective goals to protect and restore water quality and living resources. The EPA delegation was most impressed with the work of the Maritime students and how this program helps advance the completion of their degrees.
