The successful applicant will assist with the Apalachicola National Estuarine Research Reserve's sea turtle nesting beach surveys on Little St. George Island, FL, an uninhabited barrier island. Surveys consist of patrolling the beach in search of sea turtle crawls, determining if a nest was made, marking nests, and monitoring nests throughout the incubation period.
ANERR is a partnership between NOAA and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. The office is run by the state of FL, but we have hosted numerous NOAA scholars and interns in the past.
