Ocean Science for a Better World®

Shortly after arriving at FAU in early 2014, the Provost and I, with feedback from every academic department in the university, created a strategic plan for the next 10 years. This aggressive plan outlines the direction the University will follow to nationally differentiate itself and establishes four institutional “pillars” focused on creating knowledge that benefits society. Our Ocean Science and Engineering/Environmental Sciences pillar places emphasis on the health of the Florida Everglades and the Atlantic Ocean, including river basins, and harnessing energy from the environment. The complete strategic plan is available at www.fau.edu/strategicplan. Recruitment of stellar faculty is a key objective of the strategic plan, and we’ve been extremely successful in attracting academic superstars to our team! One of our most recent hires is worldrenowned oceanographer and leading phytoplankton researcher Anton Post, Ph.D.  He joins FAU as executive director of Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute. Dr. Post now leads the effort to coordinate FAU’s tremendous capabilities and assets in ocean science/engineering and environmental sciences, with an ultimate goal to develop and implement game-changing research, academic and outreach programs. FAU’s undergraduate program in Ocean Engineering, established in 1965 as the nation’s first, was initiated by a grant from the Link Foundation - an organization established by Edwin and Marion Link. Six years later, Seward Johnson, Sr. founded Harbor Branch in collaboration with Link. We are very proud of this prestigious legacy and are thrilled to advance Harbor Branch to have a stronger presence across the University from its headquarters in Fort Pierce, FL. These are very exciting times at FAU! My colleagues and I look forward to further strengthening our mission to study, improve and protect the natural resources in our local area and across the state. I am pleased to officially welcome Dr. Post as he begins his first semester at FAU.

With a significant fraction of the human population residing in coastal areas, we become increasingly aware of the importance of the ocean for our well-being and the threat of global climate change to ocean health. In many ways, human health depends on ocean health. We often think of the health sciences as a translational science: it goes from understanding disease to developing a cure and work towards prevention. My goal in the coming year is to drive a similar vision for ocean science at FAU – based on the concept that basic and applied research should inform sound policy and that, in turn, policy should lead to effective governance. FAU’s new Ocean and Environmental Sciences pillar is uniquely suited to embrace this principle, and provide the best research in support, with FAU Harbor Branch serving as the nerve center. Furthering this initiative will be instrumental in training the next generation of scientists and practitioners through the development of new academic programs. Global climate change and its effects on the ocean environment are issues that need to be tackled head-on, on all fronts, and with the best that marine science and engineering has to offer. I believe there is no place better equipped to handle this endeavor than FAU’s Harbor Branch. With Harbor Branch leading the charge, faculty, staff and students from across the University will be coming together to study and promote important global issues like ecosystem health, sustainable fisheries and food security. Our work in the fields of oceanography, marine biology, ocean engineering, environmental sciences and marine affairs will provide valuable insight for coastal management that will assist in adapting to and, in some cases, mitigating the effects of climate change, thereby establishing ocean science as a translational science. I am so pleased and honored to join the Florida Atlantic University team to lead Harbor Branch and launch the new Ocean Science and Engineering/Environmental Sciences pillar! I look forward to the great work ahead and aspire to an era of new discoveries and impactful research in ocean science and engineering.

Finding Solutions for the IRL The Indian River Lagoon is a living, breathing ecosystem that is ever-changing. Researchers at FAU Harbor Branch are working to better understand how human impacts are affecting the fragile system through a variety of studies to find restoration solutions for the many challenges facing the lagoon. The Indian River Lagoon Observatory Network of Environmental Sensors provides real-time data from the lagoon from ten locations, available online at any time by anyone. In 2016, scientists paired this information with other scientific studies to look at the effects of nutrient levels and fresh water discharges. Researchers worked to trace their source in an effort to solve the mystery surrounding the cause of the harmful algal blooms that suffocate the lagoon and its inhabitants. Other studies include development of new ways to study the tiniest particles of the lagoon, creating technology that allows scientists to view - in 3D - particles and plankton in their natural, undisturbed state. Researchers are studying the dolphins that live in the lagoon, watching where and with whom they congregate, tracking reproduction, family structure and genetics. By utilizing historical data from past dolphin health assessments, researchers can look for clues into potential human health risks. As a member of the National Marine Fisheries Service’s Southeast Stranding Network, FAU Harbor Branch also provides stranding and intervention assistance. Scientists are also evaluating the health of sharks and rays that inhabit the lagoon, and tracking movement of these apex species through acoustic transmitters. Additionally, scientists are studying the effects that estuarine discharges have on Florida’s northernmost coral reef, located southwest of the St. Lucie Estuary where discharges from Lake Okeechobee ultimately meet the ocean. Scientists and students are also analyzing water exchange through the inlets that connect the lagoon to the ocean, as well as looking at potentially pathogenic microorganisms in the lagoon, including Vibrio bacteria, and their potential threat to human health.

Harbor Branch at Sea FAU Harbor Branch remains at the forefront of ocean exploration through a collaboration with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Cooperative Institute for Ocean Exploration, Research and Technology (CIOERT), headquartered at Harbor Branch. This year, ocean exploration-related research lead Harbor Branch scientists and students into the Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico, the Pacific Ocean and the Arctic. In 2016, two Harbor Branch researchers were science co-leads on a scientific expedition on board the NOAA ship Okeanos Explorer into what’s been referred to as the“Grand Canyon of the sea,”the Pacific Ocean’s Mariana Trench. Never-beforeseen species of deep-sea animals and plants were discovered and documented during the expedition. Scientists and students were able to participate in the mission through Harbor Branch’s Exploration Command Center, a facility that utilizes telepresence and is one of only a handful in the nation. Another NOAA CIOERT-funded expedition allowed scientists and students to explore mesophotic coral reef communities in the Gulf of Mexico at the Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary. Through technical dives, researchers assessed the effectiveness of a coral transplant experiment there, and spent time surveying and characterizing corals to determine the links between environmental conditions, coral stressors and reef health for use in conservation efforts. Scientists are also studying the Arctic and the animals that inhabit Alaska and surrounding waters, including beluga whales and polar bears, to investigate the impacts of climate change on their behaviors with regard to aspects like migration patterns and food collection.

Discovering Medicines from the Sea It is estimated that nearly 70% of the medicines routinely used originated from a natural product found in nature. Scientists with FAU Harbor Branch’s Marine Biomedical and Biotechnology program are working to harness the power of those found in marine habitats to create better medicines for use in the treatment of various diseases. New developments are being made on work that began in the 1990’s, when Harbor Branch researchers isolated the compound, lasonolide A, from a marine sponge and found that it was extremely active against cancer cells.

This year, scientists began working to recreate lasonolide A in a laboratory flask using the genes that nature uses to make the compound, providing the foundation for developing a sustainable method to supply a biosynthetic form of the compound for use in clinical trials and future treatments in different types of cancer. Scientists in the group also found that another compound, leiodermatolide, can reduce the size of pancreatic cancer tumors. The results of that study were published in the July, 2016 edition of the International Journal of Cancer.

Ensuring Safe, Healthy Seafood

More than 50% of the seafood we eat comes from aquaculture, but less than 1% of it is produced in the United States. For more than 40 years, Harbor Branch has remained a leader in advancing aquaculture in the United States and internationally. This year, FAU Harbor Branch embarked on several pivotal partnerships, both public and private, which are helping to pave the way for advancements in aquaculture production, enhancement and sustainability. Harbor Branch is collaborating with the Bonefish & Tarpon Trust on a $3 million dollar grant-funded project designed to help Florida’s multi-billion dollar sportfishing industry. The research involves testing ways to spawn and raise bonefish in a captive setting to enhance wild stocks. Fish farming scientists are also partnering with world-renowned aquafeed company, Zeigler Bros., Inc., to develop high quality, sustainable shrimp feeds in an effort to improve the growth and quality of cultured seafood. Harbor Branch’s aquaculture expertise was taken to an international level through a collaboration with Aquaculture Without Frontiers, which gives scientists the opportunity to advance aquaculture in developing countries in order to provide protein sources and diversification of livelihoods. Back at home, Harbor Branch scientists continue testing and improving the innovative Integrated Multi-trophic Aquaculture system by working with new species such as sponges, cobia and red drum and expanding the technology capabilities to improve efficiencies.

Educating the Next Generation

FAU Harbor Branch remains a leader in educating the world’s next generation of ocean scientists and engineers, by providing marine science and oceanography education that helps to foster a deeper understanding and appreciation by students and the public of how ocean health and human health are tightly linked. In spring 2016, undergraduate students spent a Semester by the Sea at Harbor Branch, as part of FAU’s Ocean Exploration for Undergraduates course. Working with Harbor Branch researchers, students experienced hands-on, at-sea training aboard the R/V Bellows in the Gulf of Mexico, and worked collaboratively on a team project that was presented during a poster session. Students from universities around the nation and world came to Harbor Branch to participate in the 43rd year of Harbor Branch Summer Intern Program, sponsored in part by the Link Foundation and the Gertrude Skelly Foundation. Interns collaborated with Harbor Branch mentors on research projects and presented their findings during a symposium at the end of the summer. Harbor Branch remains home to Westwood High School’s Marine & Oceanographic Academy, a magnet program which provides students with a customized integrated curriculum for enrichment in the field of marine and environmental studies. The Junior Scientist Fellows program, a partnership between Harbor Branch and the Indian River Land Trust, provides high school students in Indian River County the opportunity to engage in scientific research to manage waterfront properties and habitats along the lagoon.
