Carmela Cuomo examines Algae From Long Island

Carmela Cuomo, coordinator of the University of New Haven’s marine biology program, is taking a closer look at whether algae in Long Island Sound can be harvested and cultivated to produce bio-diesel fuel, Connecticut Post reports.

Cuomo’s research is funded by a $135,276 grant from the Connecticut Center for Advanced Technology administered by the state Department of Economic and Community Development.
