EPA-SNEP says Goodbye and Good Luck to ORISE Fellow, Shasten Sherwell.
For over two years, Shasten Sherwell has worked as a microbial ecologist, marine biologist, and dedicated team member with the Southeast New England Program.
During her time as an ORISE Fellow stationed at EPA, Shasten was integral in researching harmful algal blooms throughout the SNEP region.
As part of this effort, Shasten worked to design and facilitate the HABs Risk Communication webinar last year, which produced a preliminary list of key HAB questions that state and municipal partners receive most often.
A completed HAB Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) will be developed from this work in 2023 and posted to the SNEP website.
Additionally, Shasten has spearheaded a SNEP-specific HAB monitoring program in key areas of the SNEP region including New Bedford, MA; Fall River, MA; and Woonsocket, RI. SNEP plans to continue this monitoring effort in Shasten’s absence.
Thank you, Shasten, for all you’ve done; we wish you all the best in your new endeavors!
