NAMIBIA UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY (NUST)
With our funding, four NUST graduate students are compiling aquatic plant candidates for carbon sequestration and bioremediation capacities, amongst other target features. Each student will then test selected plant species for quality, robustness, and adaptability.
