Grace Hutton, an Environmental Science major and a Marine Studies minor, spent her co-op working for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in Seattle. For two months she studied skate egg cases, then spent one month on a 135-foot commercial fishing trawler (the Vesteraalen) – surveying groundfish in the Bering Sea.
According to Grace, “it was my job to remove stomachs for diet analysis…all in all it was a messy yet fantastic experience!”
