AECiMa Introduces it's New Symbol of Marine Science Pride

AECiMa (Asociacion de Estudiantes de Ciencas Marinas / Department of Marine Sciences Student Association) is a consortium of 41 active masters and doctoral marine science graduate students enrolled in the Department of Marine Sciences at the University of Puerto Rico, Mayaguez. These graduate students are immersed in the interdisciplinary field of marine sciences and are trained in four core areas of oceanography: biological, chemical, geological, and physical oceanography. The students of AECiMa are researching issues and topics related to fisheries, invasive species, remote sensing, ocean modeling, coral reef ecosystems, habitat connectivity, marine spatial management, and much more. A student directory can be accessed by clicking here. Below are two visual representations of AECiMa that serve as symbols of  pride and dedication that these students possess in their quest to help research the issues and topics facing  our world's oceans and ecosystems.
