CCEHBR Coral Health and Disease Program couples the principles and available technologies of biomedical science with traditional measures of ecosystem health.

CCEHBR Scientists draw up a sample from a simulated salt-marsh ecosystem that has been exposed to an herbicide to study its fate and effects in a coastal environment.

Coastal decision makers need scientific information in order to appropriately manage coastal ecosystems impacted by climate change. CSCOR supports interdisciplinary, multi-year research programs investigating how oceanic and coastal ecosystems respond to climate variability and change.

CCEHBR Scientists begin necropsy of two pygmy killer whales and collect samples for biotoxin analysis, contaminant analysis, and histopathology to determine the causes of death.

The remodeled lab offers scientists the optimum laboratory environment for their important work on marine toxins.

About CCEHBR

CCEHBR provides scientific information required to resolve issues related to the health of coastal ecosystems. Major research areas include Estuaries and Land Use, Harmful Algal Blooms and Analytical Response, Marine Disease and Restoration Ecology (performed at the Cooperative Oxford Lab), and Protected Areas and Resources.

Pharmaceuticals in the Environment

The Pharmaceuticals in the Environment, Information for Assessing Risk is a database of available information on the general chemistry and toxicology of potential environmental levels of pharmaceuticals. This information will allow users to quickly assess the hazards these drugs might pose to aquatic resources. Visit the project's web site.
