AECIMA Students help Marine Debris Removal Efforts in Rincon

Chelsea Harms and Evan Tuohy, graduate students in the Department of Marine Sciences at UPRM, helped the Surfrider Foundation remove 13 tires and copious amounts of other marine debris off of reef habitats in Rincon today.  Keep up the great work!!  This work is associated with a reef restoration program that SF Rincon is currently wrapping up.

Who says volunteering isn't fun?  Evan enjoys the ride and the view of the second reef at Tres Palmas.

Chelsea and Evan happy to help clean up Rincon's reef habitats
