Star Island Teams up with Shoals Marine Lab and UNH Cooperative Extension

Star Island is proud to announce two new internships this summer: Shoals Environmental Education Internships. Star Island is proud to partner with the Shoals Marine Lab and UNH Cooperative Extension to enhance environmental education across the entire Isles of Shoals this summer! The interns will work and live on both Appledore Island and Star Island. They will assist in developing and delivering education programs on Star Island, UNH Marine Docent Tours on Appledore, and with school group visits to SML. In addition, the interns will design an education program for all Isles of Shoals visitors focused on the “Gulls of the Shoals”. This portion of the program will be carried out in collaboration with the US Fish and Wildlife Service and Julie Ellis of Tufts University to help improve visitor interactions with resident seabirds. These interns will be mentored by Mark Wiley, NH Sea Grant/Youth and Family Extension Specialist and Arthur Eves, Island Naturalist at Star Island. We are grateful to Shoals Marine Lab and UNH Cooperative Extension for organizing and funding this program.
