<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">The Maggie Geist Internship
Program was established in 2012 in recognition of former APCC Executive
Director, Maggie Geist, who made many contributions to the protection of Cape
Cod’s environment. The Geist Internship
is designed to provide an individual who is committed to ecology and
environmental protection with a meaningful and substantial learning experience
working in one of the most beautiful ecosystems – Cape Cod. The internship is a full-time, funded
position for 8-10 weeks.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">For 2015, APCC is seeking a
biology teacher who is interested in spending the summer performing scientific
research to reacquaint themselves with hands-on science. Under the supervision of APCC staff, the intern
will monitor tidally restricted salt marshes for ecosystem health. This will involve seining for fish,
identifying and quantifying vegetation, measuring water quality parameters,
entering data into an existing database, collecting GIS coordinates using a
handheld GPS unit, and maintaining and repairing field equipment. </span></p>
