Elizabeth Fejes completed her M.S. in 2004. While at Texas A&M University, her research focused on water-column and benthic productivity and community respiration in shallow pools in saltmarsh habitats. She is currently employed by the University of Hawaii.		Carrie Miller is pursuing a Masters degree in Aquatic Ecology. She is currently involved in the San Antonio Bay research project. Her Master’s degree research will likely involve quantification of water exchanges between enclosed bays and the open Gulf of Mexico, and its effect on plankton communities.
	Yesim Buyukates completed her Ph.D. in 2003. Her research while at Texas A&M University focused on the role of pulsed inflows on plankton community dynamics in saltmarsh fringe habitats. She is currently a Research Scientist back in her home country of Turkey.		Hsiu-Ping Li is pursuing a Ph.D. in Phytoplankton Ecology. She is currently involved in the San Antonio Bay and Galveston Bay projects. Her past research focused on the relationship between photopigments and phytoplankton community structure
	Reagan Errera is pursuing a Masters degree in Harmful Algal Bloom Ecology. Her research focuses on the toxic haptophyte, Prymnesium parvum, and the role that nutrient enrichment plays in bloom initiation. She is also investigating the use of barley straw extract as a mitigating tool.		Justin Murdock completed his M.S. in 2002. While at Texas A&M University, his research focused on the role of scouring events in a sewage effluent-impacted stream on periphyton accumulated biomass and community structure. He is currently a Ph.D. student at Kansas State University.
	Jose Vicente Montoya is pursuing a Ph.D. in Neotropical River Ecology. His research focuses on how meiofauna communities respond to fluctuating hydrology and migratory benthic-feeding fish species. Among other things, he is also involved in research relating to the role of allochthonous and autochthonous carbon sources, and inorganic nutrients on system level productivity and community respiration.		George Gable is pursuing a Masters degree in Aquatic Ecology. His research focuses on how water exchange between Mesquite Bay, Texas and the Gulf of Mexico waters might effect ecosystem properties that range from productivity and community structure of the plankton to performance of a recreationally important fish species (Sciaenops ocellatus). Ultimately, George plans to pursue a second Masters degree in Environmental Law and Policy that focuses on human dimensions in ecosystems and responsible stewardship of our aquatic resources.
