Yesterday, Senior Tawny Bowis presented her research project, "Tangier Island: Establishing a Baseline for Microplastics Pollution," at the Virginia Sea Grant Coastal Leadership Conference in Virginia Beach. There were 30 poster presenters at the conference, all graduate students but her. This significant, original research was guided by the Virginia Insitute of Marine Science and NHS teacher Gary Dickens, with support by Tangier Cruises, her Aquaculture classmates, and NCPS. Congratulations Ms. Bowis on a job well done!
