Creation and Introduction

Hi! This is the blog documenting my experience with the COAST group this year.  The mission of our project is to collect valuable information for the state government.  Using Crystal Cove State Park, we will investigate various potential issues in the ocean.  For example, we will be looking at lobsters in the state park.  There are 17 members in our group who will be investigating ocean life and analyzing data in and around the park.  Dr. Haney and Dr. Irwin are helping lead our Service Learning group this year.  

I am a junior interested in preserving and analyzing the ocean.  I am really excited to begin working with COAST and learn more about the ocean.  Another reason that I am choosing to participate in this group is to protect our Oceans.  Additionally, I would really like to become Scuba Certified, as to better assist our Service Learning group in achieving our mission.
