Aims of the Fellowship
I worked primarily in the salt marsh inter-tidal creek systems,
the seawater wet lab and within the sorting lab, all part of the Hobcaw
property. My project was to continue the work of a past graduate student on the
level of site fidelity for Grass shrimp. In other words we were studying the tendency for these
grass shrimps to return to the same inter-tidal creeks.
