CAISN Connections: Part I

As the warm sun slowly begins to thaw this frozen land, most of us have our mind's eye set on a welcoming morning sun peeking over the horizon, days spent lazing on one of our countless lakes and evenings spent with family and friends on outdoor patios.

Unless you're CAISN associate André Rochon, who's conducting groundbreaking research into the presence of Dinoflagellete species inhabiting the frigid waters of our northern ocean. He and his colleague's results will eventually be published as a visual guide  so that future AIS investigators working in labs can quickly discern what is invasive and what is not.

While this research is not funded by CAISN, André believes that his involvement with CAISN in the past has been an immeasurable benefit to his current efforts to monitor and document AIS in Canadian waters.
