Laura Otto
Fieldwork in Mexico

My research in the Mexican Riviera Maya in February and March 2022 was insightful, exciting, and informative. That trip truly marked an important milestone for my project! I was able to work as a beach-cleaner (a Sisyphean-task, I can report), met with my colleagues from Mexico City to push forward our collaboration, and learned from fishermen how badly Sargassum impacts their everyday life. I look forward to returning in August!
