How the time has flown! We had many successful theses this past summer. Taylor Williams defended in June about her research titled, "The reproductive system of Chondria tumulosa, the Papahãnaumokuãkea Marine National Monument’s first known nuisance alga." Ellen Reiber successfully defended her thesis on "Population genetic and stock enhancement tools for conservation of the overfished white seabass, Atractoscion nobilis," in July. Alex Barry defended his thesis also in July, and it was titled, "Assessing heterotrophic feeding in ecologically dominant Caribbean sponge species." Last but not least, Courtney Bayles defended her thesis this month, which was titled, "Assessment of strand-feeding in common bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in the waters surrounding captain Sam’s Inlet, South Carolina." We want to congratulate all our GPMB students who did an amazing job with their research and defense. 🥳🥳🥳🥳
