On May 2nd, a devastating structure fire engulfed the @USFCMS Marine Science Laboratory, destroying equipment, disrupting research, and displacing more than 125 people.
The damage was significant, but instead of stopping, a team of #USF oceanographers raced back out to sea, determined to keep critical hurricane forecasting systems running for the communities that depend on them.
Bold Research. Real Impact.
