I am delighted to announce that my campaign has reached its funding goal, and I would like to thank everyone who made it possible! Together, we are pushing into new frontiers of scientific research that will help us better care for marine ecosystems in the Caribbean.
My next step is to prepare the DNA for sequencing. I will be posting updates to this page as I work through data collection, analysis, and publication.

My project tests the hypothesis that microbiomes drive ecological differences among three new sponge species (Ircinia spp.). To test this hypothesis, I will sequence the metagenomes of 21 sponges (n=7 for each species) to infer how ecologically impactful processes differ among the new species. By describing the ecological relevance of these new sponge species, my project can help advocate for their protection, the preservation of ecological diversity, and ultimately the health of coral reefs.
