- Ecology: Some research projects in our lab focus on aspects of oyster ecology.
- Examining Disease Dynamics: As part of our oyster monitoring effort, we sample oysters throughout the Bay, testing for the presence of Perkinsus marinus, a parasite that causes Dermo disease.
- Factors Influence Restoration Success: An important aspect of our monitoring program involves evaluating the success of restoration; this often means quantifying oyster survival on sites throughout the Bay. Similarly, it is critical to understand the factors that influence oyster (particularly spat) survival.
- Physiology: Oyster physiology represents one realm of oyster research conducted in our lab.
- Student Projects: Graduate, undergraduate, and high school students conduct research projects in our lab, in an attempt to investigate all things benthos.
