Ever since I was a kid I have always been interested in marine life. It wasn't until recently that I knew I wanted to work in conservation protecting marine life. One of the inspirational moments that helped me decide my future career was this research project on seagrass. Giving a voice to marine life to protect it from pollution and development is what we need. My goal with this project is to do exactly that for our Native Hawaiian seagrass ecosystems. By studying the negative effects of nitrogen exposure and making the research results public there is a possibility of policy in the future that can protect this ecosystem.
