I worked as The Shipwreck Survey's first intern on their Bonaire 2025 field school. "Bonaire played an important role in colonial-period history, as it was a supplier of large quantities of salt. Its salt pans were very productive and produced high-quality salt, which was used to preserve food before the invention of refrigerators. Remnants of this industry can be found all over the island, including the surrounding waters. Moreover, as low-lying Bonaire was a navigational hazard that could not easily be seen at night, many ships wrecked along its rocky shores. As a result, Bonaire’s waters are littered with shipwrecks, cannons, anchors, remains of old docks, ballast piles, and artifacts." - The Shipwreck Survey As an intern, my job was to facilitate presentations and work as staff for the project. This meant that I would be a safety diver on dives with students. I would ensure every student was accounted for, and everyone was comfortable underwater. Furthermore, I acted as a presenter on content I had experience with and could productively teach the students. I also worked in the admin part of the project. This meant keeping track of student documents, helping with gear rentals, student accommodations, etc..  Lastly, I also helped students with the tasks they were required to complete. For example, students learn how to conduct photogrammetry, site reporting, underwater surveys, and recording cannons, anchors, and artifacts. These are all items I was able to assist students with when they had questions. This opportunity thoroughly taught me the behind the scenes of running a field school.
