Cuong Tran's Hollings internship at Old Woman Creek National Estuarine Research Reserve in Huron, Ohio, focuses on determining best practices for improving communication between the scientific community and watershed property owners, as well as uncovering barriers to the installation of nature-based shorelines. In addition to his project, Cuong is taking care of native animals in the visitor center, teaching school groups about watershed-estuary-Great Lake connections and human impacts on the lakes, leading weekly kayak trips on the estuary, and helping with environmental education.
