My work here will involve monitoring the population of salmonids in the park and in the San Francisco area, particularly Coho and Steelhead. Coho salmon are currently classified as endangered by the Federal Endangered Species Act and are estimated to be at 1% of their historic population size. This experience will be my first time working with an endangered species, and I am looking forward to learning how the status affects the work being done with the species.
My love of nature began watching the wildlife in my backyard at home, and I had no idea that this would expand to the scale of a national park. Before coming here, I had never been to a national park, so it is a privilege to be able to work at one! I’m looking forward to exploring the park during my time here, both in my work and recreationally. I hope you’ll stick around to hear more about my experiences!
