Laguna Bacalar is on the cusp of becoming one of the most threatened lakes in the world. An international research experience through UW-Milwaukee with funding from the National Science Foundation is providing students the opportunity to research freshwater and sustainability in a rapidly changing ecological corridor.

UWM student researchers will partner with English students from the Central Regional de Educación Normal (Teacher’s College) to present their diverse research projects to both a live and virtual audience.

Sponsored by the UW-Milwaukee School of Freshwater Sciences, Centro Regional de Educación Normal (Bacalar), ECOSUR El College de la Frontera Sur Chetumal, UW-Milwaukee Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies, and the UW-Madison Latin American, Caribbean and Iberian Studies Program.
