New Hampshire Sea Grant would like to congratulate our new Doyle Fellows and Cooperative Extension Intern.
Audrey Berenson, a Biomedical Science: Medical Microbiology major at UNH, will work with Dr. Steve Jones on oyster farm sanitation practices. Collecting oysters and water samples in the Great Bay Estuary, testing for the presence of various bacteria, and working with oyster farmers will keep her busy.
Robert Lafrieniere, a Marine, Estuary & Freshwater Biology major at UNH, will work with Alyson Eberhardt and Caitlin Mandeville on evaluating the success of completed dune restoration activities. Developing a research study, monitoring coastal fieldwork, and participating in citizen science events will fill his summer.
Nicole DeRoche, a Biology major at Saint Anselm College, will work with Gabby Bradt on invasive green crabs in the Great Bay and Hampton Estuaries. Monitoring the molting cycle, recruiting and training volunteers, and working to develop a green crab fishery are only a few of the items on her to-do list.
As Coastal Resilience Intern, Krtistina will assist with data collection and volunteer training efforts related to beach and dune management in NH and will develop communications products to connect beach profiling data to management needs.
We look forward to working with and learning from our Fellows, as part of this unique exchange of knowledge and experience.
