What is the hidden cost of man-made islands on the coral reefs just beneath the surface?

FAU master's in environmental science student Dayana Castillo is researching the crucial connection between coastal engineering and marine ecosystems. Focusing on Peanut Island in Riviera Beach, Florida, which uses breakwater structures for stabilization, Castillo is investigating how these man-made structures impact local coral health.

The goal? To provide data-backed insights on how coastal management can better support urban coral health and protect these vital ecosystems for future generations.

🌟 Alumni Spotlight: Samantha Ramos 🌟

For Samantha, earning her Professional MBA at Florida Atlantic was an opportunity to grow professionally, personally, and build meaningful connections while continuing to work full time.

Reflecting on her experience, Samantha shared:

"The program allowed me to work full time while pursuing my master’s degree. Balancing both challenged me in the best way and helped me grow both professionally and personally. One of my biggest accomplishments was building meaningful connections through networking. In fact, during my very first semester, I met someone who eventually hired me at their company, and I still work there today. That experience really showed me the value of the relationships I built throughout the program. Overall, I truly loved my time at FAU. It’s been such a rewarding journey, and I’m grateful for everything I’ve learned and the opportunities it’s given me."

Congratulations, Samantha! We are proud to celebrate your accomplishments and look forward to seeing what you achieve next. 💙🦉
