Congratulations to Master of Science in Environmental Studies candidate, Jennifer Hein, for being selected for the 2011 Coastal Research Fellowship Program! The South Carolina National Estuarine Research Reserves (NERRs) offers this opportunity each year with the South Carolina Sea Grant Consortium. By encouraging research in the ACE Basin and NI-WB NERRs, fellows explore the impact of human interaction on the coastal environment. Hein’s research focuses on the ”Comparative impact of the invasive parasite species, Anguillicoloides crassus on the American Eel populations between the ACE Basin and North Inlet NERRs and the Cooper River.” To learn more about this opportunity, visit the Sea Grant Webiste.
