Reflection 1

For this paper, I decided to focus on an area that I hope to eventually have a career in, invasion ecology. In this case, aquatic invasive species and their impact on the Chesapeake Bay. I think going into this project I will have a strong educational foundation since my marine biology coursework already discusses the impacts of invasive species. Currently, I do consider myself to be a decent writer, but this class has really helped me develop my skills in areas I have had trouble with in the past.

Reflection 2

Overall, I think my paper really helps communities maybe become more aware of how exactly an invasive species can impact an environment, while also shedding some light on what can be done to combat this. And this sort of thinking can be seen in some of the articles I have included in my paper, especially the one by Donelan et al. as he exposes how invasive species can be spread via global shipping routes.
