An internship in marine biology

Mairead McConnell, a student at New York University in the Gallatin School of Individualized Study, is spending her summer as a marine biology intern. She is an education and research assistant who aids with public outreach and conservation advocacy. Mairead helps run workshops where she teaches students of all ages about Irish sea life. She also distributes information about the organization’s current research project, a citizen science initiative that asks anyone who finds shark or ray egg-cases washed up on the beach to report the exact location of their sighting. In this way, the organization can track and determine shark and ray nursery areas in order to improve fisheries conservation management.
