Description of Work/Commitment: Work with Agua Hedionda Lagoon Employees and CA Fish & Wildlife Service to install and remove solarization black tarps from areas of the watershed. We are attempting to eradicate Algerian Sea Lavender (an invasive species) in the lagoon. The black tarps act as a solarization method and kills the plant, but not the natives, and allows us not to use herbicides. As an intern you would continually monitor the tarps, hand pull Algerian sea lavender in the adjacent areas, lead and train volunteers to help, and organize volunteer groups to install and remove the tarps.
