My first idea for an internship got shot down and I had a hard time thinking of what else would be good. I finally settled on doing a self led internship. I plan on cleaning up Lake Davidson. Lake Davidson is a small lake that was created when I-77 was built across Lake Norman. It is completely cut off from the main lake. Because of its isolation it is much more vulnerable and volatile environment. There is also a massive amount of litter from fishermen, people enjoying the lake, and from the highway traffic. I plan on cleaning up the lake both soft plastics and regular trash. I have a kayak that I plan on paddling around the bank of the lake and picking up trash. Another interesting thing that I will be doing soon is a fish dissection in Biology. I am catching bass from a local lake and will be dissecting them with the 10th grade class. I am interested in finding out if there are any soft plastics in the stomachs of the fish.
