Pleased to announce that on Tuesday 31st August at 1300 BST/0930 NDT by Shreya Nemani and Julia Mackin-McLaughlin will be giving the August seminar on “Baseline Characterization of Species Assemblages in An Ecologically and Biologically Sensitive Area (EBSA): Placentia Bay, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.” Julia and Shreya are MSc students from the 4D Oceans Lab at Memorial University’s Marine Institute, Canada. They study the spatial distribution of seabed habitats in Placentia Bay as part of Canada’s Coastal Environmental Baseline Program. In addition to studying the composition of faunal assemblages, Shreya is also studying their functional composition and diversity of the bay. Concurrent with this research, Julia has modelled the ecological niche of two habitat-forming algal species which support various ecosystem services for the west coast of the bay.
