5/2024 UNO's CBEL, Nicola Anthony as well as Just Cebrian received funding through Mote Marine Lab from the Florida Seagrass Restoration Technology Development Initiative to examine the role of seagrass genetic variation and genotypic identity in enhancing primary productivity and conferring resilience to common abiotic stressors of low-light and high-heat for Halodule wrightii, the seagrass species most used in restoration in the Gulf of Mexico.

3/2024 Anastasia Konefal was selected for the National Academy of Sciences' Gulf Research Program Science Policy Fellowship!!! For the fellowship she will get placed in one of 14 potential host offices all doing science-policy related work with the Gulf of Mexico region. It is a year-long fellowship starting in September. She is currently in the process of interviewing with the different offices for placement.
