”My role as an Environmental Law intern was to provide support to marine conservation staff on special assignments, such as legislation-related projects. My main takeaway was the amount of research I did on marine mammals and what legal jurisdiction they have, compared to other countries. I was able to acquire knowledge that I would normally never have.”
