Robin joined us from the HAS University of applied sciences for a research traineeship. Her work focused on the effect of the Artificial Reefs on the weight of the fish aggregated by them. Her work gave us insight on how much food might be available for fish in these new locations and was part of a bigger Master thesis project.
