Dr. Keith Johnson, Diamonique Clark (ENV ’16), and Jessica Kim (BIO ’15) recently travelled to Quebec City in Quebec, Canada to present their research on the “Presence and Diversity of Marine Life on Artificial and Natural Reefs in the Chesapeake Bay” at the Xth Benthic Ecology Meeting. Their work was completed as part of the Stevenson Reef Ball Project, in which all freshman School of the Sciences majors participate, making concrete reef balls that are deposited in the Chesapeake Bay to help rebuild reef habitat for marine life. A portion of Dr. Johnson’s research focuses on recording the diversity of organisms inhabiting the artificial reef in order to determine whether it is having the desired effect.
