Project Team | Marine Biological Laboratory

We have assembled a dream team of experts in the development of new macroalgal cultivation operations who have managed to forge strong working relationships despite the complexity and diversity of backgrounds.

This project is part of the ANCIENT (Alaska, Northeast, Caribbean Initiative for ENergy Technology) MARINER consortium, which is coordinating multi-proposal development, and has coordinated communication and project execution between team leaders and cooperators in cost-effective and mutually supportive ways. We build on this model for interacting with new team members to not only leverage new tools but provide information to help improve and expand their use.
