Before this summer I\u2019d never been on the Oregon coast or seen a tufted puffin. Although I\u2019d been to tidepools before, I\u2019m leaving this internship with a whole new world of knowledge about the species found there as well as the seabirds that live on Haystack Rock.&nbsp; My internship with Haystack Rock Awareness Program (HRAP) allowed me to spend my days thinking about how science communication could be used to increase awareness and action within marine conservation. While a lot of my time was spent reading literature on the topic and conducting research, I also gained so much from just speaking to people on the beach or around Cannon Beach. Before this internship, I didn\u2019t think of myself as someone that could just spark a conversation with a stranger. Through this internship, I have been able to improve my communication skills and have grown considerably in my ability to casually relay scientific information.&nbsp;<\/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\/193315779@N07\/51386065960\/in\/dateposted-public\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/51386065960_1a5a5a83b0.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_2212\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Since I recently graduated from college I am currently looking for jobs and have a few job prospects in environmental consultant firms.
