One of the many reasons I wanted to become a Student Research Assistant for the Forage Fish Spawning Habitat Monitoring Project at MABRRI was to gain more experience and knowledge sampling on beaches for forage fish! So far, this position has done just that! On the night of Halloween, Chrissy, Olivia, and I set out to sample our core sites for the project. Olivia is joining us some of our sampling days as she is researching microplastic in sand lance habitats for her independent study. Once Olivia completed her sampling, she helped us collect data and sample!
