Alexandria DeJarnett

I grew up in southern California and transferred to UVI as a junior in 2011, where I completed a Bachelor of Science degree in Marine Biology. I have always been interested in marine mammals and have completed internships at Dolphin Discovery in Tortola, BVI and Coral World Ocean Park in St. Thomas, USVI. I'm currently interning with the Coral Bay Community Council in St. John where I'm evaluating shipwrecks in the bay to determine if they can be removed without affecting the surrounding habitats and species. I will be using this internship project for my thesis and looking at blowouts in seagrass beds and determining if there will be any affects before, after, and during the removal of the shipwrecks.
