HAB Lab members Rachel Brewton and Katherine Kane attended the 6th Annual Love Your Lagoon Gala hosted by the Harbor Branch Foundation. The gala raises funds and generates greater awareness of the critical issues in the Indian River Lagoon. Since 2012, this event has raised over $400,000 to support FAU Harbor Branch’s ongoing Indian River Lagoon Observatory research and outreach efforts. At the event, there was a live-auction during which attendees were able to bid on supporting graduate student fellowships, such as those helping to sponsor HAB Lab M.S. students, Katherine Kane and Bret Kaiser. This year's event honored Diane Dunmire Barile, a former professor with Florida Institute of Technology, who has dedicated her career to the study and preservation of the Indian River Lagoon.
