The University of Puerto Rico Sea Grant College Program (UPRSGCP) carried out its “Third Annual Symposium for Coastal and Marine Applied Research” during October 8, 2008. This activity brought together researchers who have received grants from UPRSGCP since 2006. The presented projects focus on problems affecting our coastal and marine resources. The presentations emphasized on the applicability of research results. During this symposium two researchers from the GERS Lab showed their projects. Fernando Gilbes talked about “New Web Tool for Understanding Bioluminescent Bays” and Johannes Schellekens about “Developing a Protocol to Use Remote Sensing as a Cost Effective Tool to Monitor Contamination of Mangrove Wetlands”.
