Andrea Taggart, a senior in environmental science, presented “Northern Indian River Lagoon Phosphate Levels During the Summer of 2018 Algal Blooms” at the Jan. 3 meeting of the Cocoa Beach Sail and Power Squadron.

Last year, Taggart received a $1,000 award from the squadron as recipient of the Richard and Mary Jane Schnoor Undergraduate Scholarship.

Her presentation “was well received by all and I personally received very positive feedback from several members in the audience,” noted Jose Casals, commander of the Cocoa Beach Sail and Power Squadron.
