Abstract
Most of my background science work and most of what guided me towards Environmental Science was marine science and marine biology. I have an abundance of experience collecting oceanography data, and working in aquatic environments, but one of my learning goals was to branch out and away from marine science. Not only is it a popular destination for guests hoping to go outside and enjoy nature, but Deception Pass is also home to much wildlife. I regularly encountered chipmunks, bunnies, squirrels, bald eagles, red-tail hawks, deer, orcas, and other birds and mammals during my internship. All these organisms rely on the aquatic ecosystems, but most of them live within the terrestrial habitats in and around the state park. It was a new, and very amazing, experience to get to work around all these organisms and get a better understanding of the flora and fauna above the water.
