The Sanibel FlyFishers announced that it recently awarded a college scholarship.
Recipient Jolie Alberty is an environmental science graduate at Florida Gulf Coast University. She is currently studying under Dr. Melissa May, focusing her research on the effects of environmental stressors on marine invertebrate physiology, with a particular emphasis on bivalves. Her work involves conducting hard clam surveys in the Pine Island Sound as part of a larger study on hard clam and seagrass cohabitation sites. Alberty possesses field and lab experience, along with managerial skills.
“The club is thrilled to support Jolie in her academic and research endeavors,” the Sanibel FlyFishers said. “We are confident that her work will contribute significantly to our understanding of marine ecosystems and environmental conservation.”
Alberty recently attended a club meeting, where she engaged with its members.
