B-CU students Miranda White and Abraham DaSilvio with Dr. Krejci and Dr. Cho are attending the CWCC which is a biannual workshop for the NOAA Center for Coastal and Marine Ecosystem program. The CCME grant provides funding for undergraduate and graduate students at B-CU and partner institutions around the country including FAMU, California State at Monterey Bay, Jackson State University, The Univeristy of Texas at Rio Grande Valley, and Texas A&M Corpus Christi. All the partner schools, students and faculty are participating in a week long workshop examining the potential impacts of a new causeway being built over the Laguna Madre. The students are assigned user group perspectives to explore and will be gathering data to make a decision on their recommendation of the causeway construction.
