[quote]The Cook Inlet Beluga Whales have recently been assigned an endangered status. Part of my responsibility this summer is monitoring for beluga whales and sightings, recording the types of activity the whales are exhibiting, and comparing this with possible environmental disturbances that affect how belugas would normally behave, such as invasive plants.\u00a0I have already done mountain biking with trailers, hiking with pack rafts and paddling along a lake in search of aquatic invasives, and riding trains out to a glacier site where dandelions have flourished in Alaska.\u00a0-Richard Fu, 2017 USDA Forest Service Intern<\/b>[\/quote]<\/p>\n
