Students of CCS-affiliated faculty presented their research at the 2022 UF Water Institute Symposium Poster Session. Topics included macroalgae decay rates, impact of sea level rise on wave loads, morphodynamics of oyster reefs, crabs as ecosystem engineers, invasive species databases, tidal flows in fjords, sturgeon conservation, invasive hog impact on salt marshes, water modeling of nearshore hydrodynamics, carbon burial in mangrove-salt marsh ecotones, watershed modification effects on coastal ecosystems, and seagrass assemblage influence on sediment carbon stocks.
The Symposium, hosted by the UF Water Institute, was held February 22 – 23 and brought together individuals from a broad range of disciplines and organizations to explore water issues from multiple perspectives. The CCS organized a program of 3 sessions and 2 expert panels that explored what the future of coastal water quality monitoring, modeling, management, and policy should/could look like from a technological, scientific and engineering perspective, as well as through a management and policy lens.
