This summers Undergraduate Research Fellowship recipients, are Rebecca Waines and Chelsea Bennett, 2018 Fall Program Alumni and University of Victoria students. Rebecca and Chelsea returned this summer to conduct follow-up research inspired by their Fall Semester Directed Studies project.

Hopefully, their results will help aquaculture facilities minimize the risk of spreading the invasive European Green Crab (Carcinus maenas) when shipping oyster seed to new farms and markets.
