During my project I did several things. While interning at PNNL, I worked primarily on a website called “Tethys” that hosts information on the environmental effects to offshore renewable energy. I was responsible for finding and adding new information to the websites database, creat- ing and maintaining social media pages, and creating other various new pages on the website. In addition I conducted a survey amongst locals to gain an understand- ing of peoples perceptions and opinions on offshore renewable energy.
