Hi my name is Janie Saile. I am currently a student athlete entering my senior year at Penn State Abington. I am a business major with a management/marketing option with a minor in criminal justice. I am taking this class mostly to fulfill my gen-ed science requirement but also because of my love of oceans and the beach. I recently bought a paddle board and there was something about paddling around the bay looking at the marshes and different animals and sea life that really intrigued me. One day when I was out, myself and another paddler found and old crab trap that had probably fallen off of a boat with turtles stuck it. We tried to free the turtles but we had no way of opening the trap. It was really sad to see that they were trapped. It showed me that no matter what if left behind, it had can a drastic impact on the ecosystems and society. I am excited to learn more about coastlines and what affects natural disasters can have on ecosystems such as how dunes protect beach towns.
