Student Shadows Restoration Team During Reef Monitoring

11/15/2022

Field season for the Delaware Bayshore Habitat Restoration Team is wrapping up! But before the busy season comes to an end a high school student came along to shadow Habitat Restoration Coordinator Quinn Whitesall and Habitat Restoration Technician Toni Rose Tablante for a routine sampling day.

Shane Faucett, a junior at Pennsylvania’s Nazareth Area High School whose family helps tag horseshoe crabs with the Society every year, chose to trade his classroom for the bay to fulfill his school’s professional shadowing requirement.

A rare 70-degree day in November made for a perfect time on the beach. While we waited for low tide, Shane asked career-related questions, while also inquiring about the Society’s work. As the day went on and the tide went out, Toni Rose and Shane geared up with waders and life jackets to see what could be found on our intertidal reef.

Once in the water, Shane assisted with the reef monitoring protocol, which included identifying and counting benthic and encrusting organisms in a randomly placed square (aka quadrat). Sampling was conducted on the reef’s front side (facing the beach) and back side (facing the bay). Everything was recorded on data sheets, and the process was repeated at another reef.
​
It was a great sampling day and was rewarding for everyone involved!

​If you have any career-related inquiries for the Delaware Bayshore Habitat Restoration Team, contact Quinn quinn@littoralsociety.org or Toni Rose tonirose@littoralsociety.org.

One of our family's favorite places is the Delaware Bay. During horeshoe crab spawning we spend as much time flipping crabs, tagging crabs and bird watching as we possibly can. We love the Littoral Society and all they do to protect and educate about our natural spaces. I'm so proud my nephew, Shane got to do his job shadowing with Quinn and Toni Rose. Sounds like it was another perfect day on the bay!

Thanks so very much. The beaches of the Delaware Bayshore are amazing and it was as close to a perfect day as you can get in November.
