Congrats to Marine Biology Major Coral Tolman (Class of 2026) for being selected to participate in a summer internship experience in Alaska!
For the internship portion of the NOAA Hollings Scholarship, Coral will be working on the project “Improving Sustainable Aquaculture in Alaska.” She will assist with a variety of projects including genetic selection of oysters, early warning of harmful algal blooms, habitat provisions of kelp farms, and oyster response to temperature and harmful algal blooms. Most of the summer will be spent at NOAA Ted Stevens Marine Lab in Juneau. She is most excited for the two weeks she will spend at Little Port Walter, which is only accessible by float plane.
