Fisheries-independent data includes collecting samples with bag seines, bay trawls, oyster dredges, and gill nets.

The intern will also assist with gear repair, data entry, outreach events, and other duties as assigned. The intern will be working alongside TPWD staff members learning the sampling program methodology.
