Each summer, Nahant Marsh partners with local colleges and universities to provide under-graduate students with hands-on research experience. Throughout the internship, students collect field data, analyze results, and develop professional research posters summarizing their work. Their findings contribute to the long-term stewardship of Nahant Marsh while preparing students for careers in environmental science and conservation.
