Tessa McCarthy

I am a senior at the University of Maine pursuing a BS in Marine Science with a Concentration in Marine Biology. Although I am originally from Michigan, I have always had a passion for the ocean. Earlier this summer I earned my SCUBA certification which was not only an amazing experience but it also opens a lot of doors to assist with underwater data collection. In the past I have worked on projects related to lobster behavior in low oxygen environments, which led me to the research going on in the Walhe Lab. I am excited to continue research related to the impact of climate change on this species while providing public outreach through the Lobster Institute.
