Abstract
One of my first goals was to implement the skills I have gained at university and apply them to real world scenarios. I wanted to learn about the intricacies of Zostera marina (eelgrass) populations in Puget Sound as well as the critical factors that seagrasses play within the Salish Sea. I particularly wanted to research how local conditions effect phenotypes of eelgrass populations. Lastly, I set a goal to use the opportunity to conduct research to help further my knowledge of the effects that climate change has on eelgrass populations in marine ecosystems.
