The remainder often runs into rivers and coastal areas, contributing to oxygen-depleted "dead zones" that harm aquatic ecosystems.

Jolly is now looking at what impact the biodegradable wipes have on aquatic life as they fall apart.

Because the generator floats naturally on water, it could support environmental monitoring systems in diverse aquatic settings, including sensors for water quality, salinity, or pollution.

Grace Nasser, who grew up in Northridge and graduated in 2023, works at Dolphin Quest Hawaii, where customers swim with and learn about the aquatic mammals.

"MISO bacteria remove toxic sulfide and may help prevent the expansion of so-called 'dead zones' in aquatic environments, while fixing carbon dioxide for growth -- similar to plants," adds Marc Mussmann, senior scientist at CeMESS.
