The four students attended the UHV Aquatic Sciences Summer Camp on Aug. 11 and 18. On the first day, students collected water samples from the Tres Palacios River, and they tested the treated water samples for oxygen saturation on the second day. The experiments were designed to show how fertilizer used in growing plants on land can cause oxygen depletion in aquatic ecosystems and ends up killing aquatic organisms. The camp was funded by a grant from The Trull Foundation.</div> </div>
