Marine Science Internships and Science at the Seashore Education at Point Reyes National Seashore

The National Park Service intends to award a cooperative agreement to the Point Reyes National Seashore Association for the project titled "Marine Science Internships and Science at the Seashore Education at Point Reyes National Seashore." The project aims to provide educational opportunities and training to two interns in the field of marine ecology, with a focus on monitoring the elephant seal population at Point Reyes National Seashore. The interns will receive extensive training and experience in marine resources, data collection, ecological monitoring, data analysis, communications, and presentations. The project also includes the "Science at the Seashore" program, which serves over 1,000 students each year with science-focused field training and educational experiences. Key aspects of the project include: • Providing approximately 1,000 hours of intern training and development in marine ecology • Participating in fieldwork, including monitoring and tagging elephant seals • Performing data analysis and reporting • Providing approximately 15 Science at the Seashore Programs to schools, reaching approximately 1,000 students each year • Collaborating with National Park Service staff to make project management decisions and receive technical assistance
