Scientists Travel From China to Work With HBOI Researchers

Mangrove scientists from the People's Republic of China (PRC) spent time at FAU Harbor Branch working alongside Dr. Ed Proffitt and Dr. Donna Devlin. The collaboration is part of a cooperative agreement between Florida Atlantic University and PRC, which allows FAU graduate students to do part of their research in the mangroves of Guangzhou, China. The agreement in turn affords Chinese scientists the opportunity to travel here to study mangroves in the Indian River Lagoon and give lectures on their research.
