Grant & Support Received: MARG III
Activity Supported:

Biogeographical Patterns of Endolithic Infestation in an Invasive and an Indigenous Intertidal Marine Ecosystem Engineer. (27 – 31 October 2019), International Conference on Aquatic Invasive Species (ICAIS). Montreal, Canada.

Year of approval: 2019
Testimonies/stories

The grant enabled me to present part of my PhD findings which was my first published PhD chapter and it gave me the opportunity not only to present at an international conference but be able to network with other scientists and gain more knowledge on aquatic invasive species
