Knauss legislative fellowships in Congress help build careers — and they're fun and educational. See our video and fact sheet for details.
Undergraduate Multimedia Internship
Maryland Sea Grant periodically offers internship opportunities with our communications team for students interested in working in the field of science communication. These internships may focus on science writing and editing, social media, photography, and video work.
There are no internships available at this time, but please check out our summer Community Engaged Internship program, which includes science outreach and communication training opportunities.

Exploring the Use of Benthic Microbial Fuel Cells to Remove Sulfide While Harvesting Energy from Oyster Aquaculture Biodeposits
Oyster aquaculture is a rapidly growing industry in Maryland’s Chesapeake waters which stimulates economic activity and may provide a host of ecosystem benefits. A potential concern associated with the intensification of the oyster aquaculture is the local production and accumulation of oyster biodeposits, which can lead to a porewater sulfide accumulation and declining bioturbation, symptoms of declining ecosystem function. Sulfide is naturally removed from the seafloor by the interactions between bioturbating infauna and sulfide oxidizing bacteria.
