Recent Letter From Former YVAS Secretary,
Mary Schvetz
Hi Everyone!
I was thinking recently how I haven't seen anyone in quite a while and wanted to say 'Hi!' I'm still working at Forsythe NWR in New Jersey. This year instead of the piping plover work, I'm working as a biotech focusing on the Salt Marsh Integrity project. The project has three phases, right now we're in the middle of the first phase of callback bird surveys. The bird surveys focus on clapper rails, saltmarsh sparrows, and seaside sparrows which are all saltmarsh endemics. In July and August we'll be doing nekton (fish/crab/shrimp) and vegetation surveys. It's a very cool project, especially since this is the second year so we can start to quantify how much impact Hurricane Sandy had on the salt marsh system. It's also been good for me personally learning how to drive the boats and being in the back bays and tidal creeks on an almost daily basis. There's always something new, from tiny dragonflies to giant jellyfish, that make it really fun.
I hope everything is going well for you too.
I can't wait to hear from you all!
