November 19, 2019: MIT Sea Grant Core Funded Research Progress Update

Tuesday, November 19, 2019 from 1:00 – 3:30 pm

12 Emily Street (NW98), Cambridge, MA 02139

The streamed video of the session is available to view here, and embedded below.

MIT Sea Grant provides competitive funding opportunities through our core RFP for Massachusetts university-based research scientists who seek to address marine issues in ways that benefit the Commonwealth.

Please join us for a progress update on the active research projects currently funded by MIT Sea Grant focusing on aquaculture and ocean acidification. Each principal investigator will present for 10 minutes with a brief Q&A session, followed by a discussion period after all presentations.
