SUNY Biology Faculty Receive $240K Grant for Invasive Species Research

ONEONTA—A grant of nearly a quarter of a million dollars will let SUNY Oneonta biology faculty and students conduct research on an invasive species that has become a widespread problem in the Lake Champlain Basin, an area covering 8,234 square miles in New York, Vermont, and Quebec.
Assistant Professor Alex Sotola and Associate Professor Dan Stich will use the $240,000.00 grant, provided by the Lake Champlain Basin Program, to study the invasive Eurasian watermilfoil, an aquatic plant with long, feathery leaves that grows in lakes and streams.
