The Conservation Biology Class finally finished this week at the Chincoteague Bay Field Station. Students finished the analysis of their vertebrate survey of Wallops Island National Wildlife. We are currently putting the final touches to the official report we will submit to the US Fish & Wildlife Service. In addition, students took a trip to the Nature Conservancy to get an up and close look at the Nature Conservancy’s eel grass beds and bay scallop restoration efforts. Students also conducted a bird survey of the Chincoteague Bay and took a visit to the Wallops Island beach owned by NASA.
