“We’ve been losing coral at an unprecedented rate ... And the hits just kind of keep on coming.” — Erinn Muller, Ph.D., Mote Marine Laboratory & Aquarium RESEARCH From page 1 looks at leading marine research at two renowned campuses in South Florida: Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute at Florida Atlantic University in Fort Pierce on the Indian River Lagoon, and Mote Marine Laboratory & Aquarium on Sarasota Bay. Seven scientists featured in this edi- tion offer a glimpse into a much wider world of research at these two hubs, which have long been on the leading edge of helping provide information and guidance during environmental disas- ters while also digging deeper, beyond the headlines. From the toxic effects of red tide on young stone crabs to advanced aquaculture techniques that could change how we farm and what we eat, these researchers are part of a scientific community that constantly communes with our waterways and the life it sustains.

Inte- grating parallel data across systems — ocean, human, and the many streams of research available at Harbor Branch — is crucial to his ongoing work. “The health of the oceans — we’re all connected,” he said, “and it’s really important to close that loop between oceans and human health to ultimately project the environment, which is ulti- mately going to pay off for us.” Ultra-efficient aquaculture Aquaculture techniques that integrate the production of plants and seafood or animals in a more eco-friendly, sustain- able system, or “polyculture,” have ori- gins in ancient China. But modern tech- niques that continue to work on more complex, efficient levels have sprung up in the United States over the last 50 years as concerns about the enormous use of water and other resources to feed a growing population and create food security became more pronounced.

ericBRETAN
A couple of weeks ago, the govern- ment announced that GDP growth for the second quarter hit a multiyear high of 4.1 percent. Following the news, President Trump and his economic team used this news as evidence that the government’s poli- cies were improving the economy and the country was better off as a result. But what exactly is GDP, how is it calcu- lated, what are its limitations, and what can it tell us about the true strength of the U.S. economy? GDP stands for Gross Domestic Prod- uct and it represents the dollar value of all the goods and services an economy produces within its borders in a given period. Measuring GDP is a relatively new metric, becoming the default mea- surement for economic growth only in the last 25 years. Before that, GNP (Gross National Product) was the most widely used metric. GNP and GDP differ in how they measure foreign investment. GDP counts income produced by foreign companies within a country but excludes income produced by domestic companies out- side of its home nation. In contrast, GNP counts goods made by domestic companies outside of its state economic activity in a country like For example, these metrics do not this country. borders but excludes foreign compa- Mexico where many foreign companies measure income distribution.
