| The Fate and Consequences of Estrogen Discharged Into Tampa Bay Current waste-water treatment facilities aren't built to remove certain pharmaceutical pollutants like estrogen, which can have a significant negative impact on the marine environment. Our research will quantify the estrogen concentrations in Tampa Bay in order to help determine the effect on the reproductive cycles of fish and other marine life.

| Assessing the Environmental Legacy of Colonial and Antebellum-Era
Water Powered Milldams on Geo-Bio Systems of North Carolina Piedmont StreamsMany piedmont streams suffer from poor water quality, a substantial portion likely coming from the erosion of sediment stored behind centuries old mill dams. Determining the true nature of all pollution sources impacting the streams will better inform prevention and policy decisions that will keep today's streams clear of yesterday's pollutants.

| Testing Waters for Chemical Build-up Using Robotic SensorsKey reports have shown rising levels of pharmaceutical chemicals in our ecosystem. Studying the effects of these chemicals on smaller life forms now can help stem the rise before it becomes a serious problem for humans. We will place a network of robotic sensors in Tampa Bay that will collect continuous samples over a six month period, providing a reliable and accurate analysis of chemical build up in the water.

| Development of sustainable and cost-effective super-intensive zero exchange shrimp production systemResearch on different aspects that can make shrimp culture in the US more sustainable and profitable. Production of food & live bait shrimp in zero water exchange systems; Development of fish meal & fish oil free shrimp diets; Use of halophyte for nutrient removal from marine effluent waters.
