The Cooperative Institute for Coastal and Estuarine Environmental Technology
The Cooperative Institute for Coastal
and Estuarine Environmental Technology has awarded $270,274 to two researchers to
develop a tool for improved detection of microalgae. Hugh MacIntyre, senior marine
scientist at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab in Dauphin Island, Ala., and colleague Richard
Cox of Kaitech Inc. in Columbia, Md., received the grant. They plan to develop a
field stage prototype of a laser fluorometer that detects multiple target pigments
and that can differentiate among various algae. Blooms of microalgae lead to low
oxygen levels in the water and to fish kills. The blooms also can impair human health.
