Along with several UNCW colleagues and UNC system partners, our proposal to sample the waters of the Cape Fear river plume out to the Gulf Stream has been funded! We have named the project Transect Expedition To Assess Land-To-Sea Habitats Via Interdisciplinary Process Studies (TEAL-SHIPS), and will be collecting measurements in collaboration with the Cape Fear Community College research vessel, the RV Cape Hatteras. Many more details to come over the next several years as we get this project underway.
