My fellow interns and I had a large variety of tasks. We often visited our field sites where we monitored water quality near oyster reefs and deployed instruments to collect data over a long period of time. Once data was acquired, we digitized it and graphed it. Statistical analyses were then taken for each set of values. We used one-way ANOVAs and post-hoc Tukey HSDs. Aside from water quality work, we counted oyster spat and calculated mortality rates. We also helped in a study monitoring biodiversity on oyster reefs. In that study, we caught marine animals in fish traps both on and off the reef and then counted and measured the contents. We have had a plethora of tasks ranging from small to large that have allowed us to grow as scientists.
