ROSA Summer Interns to Focus on Monitoring Framework and Guidelines

ROSA welcomes Nusrat Noor (top, left) and Delaney McBride (bottom, left) as its summer interns. Together, they will focus on advancing the socioeconomic and benthic habitat/essential fish habitat sections of ROSA's Offshore Wind Project Monitoring Framework and Guidelines. Specifically, they will work to understand methodologies, objectives, data types, and the life cycles of data of ongoing research within the offshore wind and fisheries field.

Nusrat is a graduate student at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina. She is currently working on her Masters degree in environmental management. She has always been passionate about all things coastal and marine, from earning her degree in marine science from the University of Florida to curating the marine and aquatic invertebrates collection at the Auburn University Museum of Natural History. She is excited to set her sights on the burgeoning research at the intersection of offshore wind and fisheries. 

Delaney is a graduate student at the University of North Carolina Wilmington where she is pursuing dual Masters degrees in environmental studies and public administration. Her academic work focuses on natural resource management and public policy analysis. She also conducts research in the environmental social sciences. Delaney is a Strategy Fellow in New Hanover County where she assists in various community initiatives. Delaney is interested in exploring offshore wind policy after graduation.
