Joshua and I went to Tillamook, OR and Long Beach, WA last Tuesday-Friday for field work. We sampled mud shrimp and ghost shrimp in both Tillamook Bay and Willapa Bay. In Washington, we got the opportunity to go out in an air boat and work with the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. At the beginning of the summer, I couldn\u2019t pull up a single core but by the end of last week, I was pulling several in a row! We also had the chance to go to Cape Disappointment and, no, it did not disappoint. It was beautiful!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr wp-block-embed-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/193483126@N08\/51330865486\/in\/dateposted-public\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/51330865486_06cd3b8598.jpg\" alt=\"Tillamook, OR &amp; Long Beach, WA\" width=\"500\" height=\"222\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><figcaption>Biggest oysters I&#8217;ve ever seen from Tillamook Bay, OR. &#8220;World&#8217;s Longest Beach&#8221; in Long Beach, WA.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Because my internship has been more of a scientific research project, I haven\u2019t been exposed to much science policy and outreach with the public. Therefore, my view of science policy has not really changed that much. I always knew it was a complicated balance of different group\u2019s needs and wants, but never quite realized just how complicated that process can be. I presume other science policy organizations in Oregon, like me at OSU and USDA-ARS, must find that balance of ecology vs economy. The overarching question in our meetings is always \u201chow can we keep these shrimp that are important to the ecosystem but also manage them for good oyster growing conditions?\u201d That being said, I must be pretty inspired because I am going to start my Marine Resource Management master\u2019s program in the fall where I will learn more about science policy and continue this line of work in my future endeavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr wp-block-embed-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/193483126@N08\/51330864956\/in\/dateposted-public\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/51330864956_58052d4c3f.jpg\" alt=\"WDFW airboat &amp; Cape Disappointment\" width=\"500\" height=\"211\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><figcaption>Joshua and I with the WDFW airboat.
