Narragansett Bay is Rhode Island’s most valuable social and economic resource, but not everyone has an equal chance to study the varied worlds of organisms living above and below its waves. RI C-AIM’s Diversity Action Committee is working towards changing that.

SURF students find home with chemistry at Salve
When he was six years old, Salve Regina junior Joshua Jeudy moved from Bridgeport, Conn. with his parents back to their home, Akra, Ghana. Upon returning, he noticed a stark difference in the perception of science among Ghanaians and Americans.

In August 2003, over one million fish were killed in Greenwich Bay. Rhode Islanders were shocked, but what was the cause? State scientists knew—life in the bay was being deprived of oxygen because of dangerously high nitrogen levels from land sources like stormwater run-off and wastewater treatment facilities. Reducing these levels in Narragansett Bay has […]
