 Bruce
W.W. Harger, Ph.D., is a Marine Botanist who has specialized
in the study of the growth of the California Kelp and California
Kelp forest ecology. His research includes the development
of techniques for the growth of seaweeds from which valuable
products can be produced or extracted.
Dr. Harger worked with Dr. Neushul for 26 years at the
UCSB Marine Science Institute. Since the founding of Neushul
Mariculture Incorporated in 1979, Dr. Harger has been responsible
for all operations, working on a variety of seaweed research
topics. Dr. Harger conducts marine biology classes and workshops
for elementary, middle, secondary, and college students.
Dr. Harger's continuing commitment to preservation of the
dwindling California Kelp forest has inspired the development,
through Sunnyside Sea Farms, of algae-based educational
products including materials and curriculum. |
