  11. Internship • USGS • Living Shoreline Project: Eelgrass and Native Oyster Restoration Project • Invertebrate Sampling and Processing: • San Rafael (The Nature Conservancy) • Hayward (Eden's Landing) • Taxa Background Research • What should be expected to happen to the invertebrate population since the treatments were placed?

  12. The Nature Conservancy– San Rafael Eden’s Landing— Hayward

  13. Intended Design Open Water Shoreline

  14. Actual Design Open Water

  15. Senior Project Taxa Identification Portfolio • Taxa found before and after treatments were implemented • Microscope pictures • Background/tolerances/classification information Nematode Oligochaete Bivalve
