On September 25, 2017, the Conservancy education and research team led by Conservancy Vice President Dr. Naomi D’Alessio, visited NOVA Southeastern University to review progress on a water study that is being partially funded by the Conservancy. The Conservancy has provided a grant to Chase Donnelly a NOVA graduate student, who is doing research on the microbial genetics of South Florida waters. Data from Grassy Waters, a remnant of the original Everglades, is being used as the baseline for the study because it is a unique natural wetland. We are pleased to report that Chase is making good progress on his study and the Conservancy is discussing possibly expanding his work.his work.
