Study Provides Measurement of Nitrogen Removal by Local Shellfish
Towns along Cape Cod and the Islands are looking to shellfish not only as tasty culinary treats, but also for help cleaning up waters degraded by excess nitrogen in the region. While nitrogen is essential for all plants and animals, too much nitrogen in ponds and waterways—often caused by fertilizer runoff and septic tanks—can fuel…

Environmental Contaminants and Fish Reproduction Not if, but how? That is the question WHOI postdoctoral investigator Joanna Wilson is asking about how certain environmental contaminants effect marine and freshwater fish reproduction. By applying new research tools—advanced mass spectrometry and proteomics—Wilson and her former graduate advisor, John Stegeman, a WHOI senior scientist, will measure proteins associated…
Read MoreSunken Ships, Living Habitats: Removing marine debris from historic wrecks
WHOI biologist Kirstin Meyer-Kaiser studies the colonies that settle around shipwrecks, looking at changes to the colonies over time as well as changes to the ship, including the impacts of large fishing nets and other gear that become entangled in the wreck. This “marine debris” can destroy whole sections of a wreck, disrupting the habitat of colonizing animals.
