Breeding a Soft-Shell Clam Option for Maryland Aquaculture

The state’s aquaculture industry has grown rapidly over the last decade, but it currently consists of a single species: the Eastern oyster.
Microplastic research gears up at Morgan State University
Carol Adrianne Smith thinks jellyfish have a lot to teach us about microplastic pollution in the Chesapeake Bay. And, thanks in part to a $1 million grant from the National Science Foundation to her historically Black university, she’s asking questions and getting some answers
Morgan State Looks to Solve a Diversity ‘Pipeline Problem’ in Environmental Sciences
For years, the study of environmental sciences has taken place in an overwhelmingly white world. While African Americans make up about 13% of the U.S. population, they receive fewer than 3% of environmental science degrees annually, according to a 2020 Data USA study. Now, officials at Morgan State University, a historically Black institution, are trying to change that. The university was granted $1 million to study microplastics in Chesapeake Bay for the next three years which is an opportunity to train more Black environmental scientists.
