Professor Emeritus
Skidaway
Institute of Oceanography
Expertise:
Toxicology, Marine Diseases, Marine Pollution
Issues of Interest:
Blue Crab diseases, non-point pollution from road runoff, sediment toxicity
in estuarine sediments adjacent to road and urban/suburban areas.
Current Projects:
Monitoring coastal Georgia waters for a parasitic dinoflagellate, Hematodinium,
which is associated with the dramatic decrease in the blue crab population.
Using
a grass shrimp bioassay, where reproduction and embryo development are the
endpoints, to assess the toxicity of estuarine sediments receiving runoff from
roads, golf courses, and urban/suburban areas.
