Well I have started a blog now and will soon be posting things on it (Hopefully) about my experiences in Michigan, Honduras, and California. Here is a highly formal, somewhat ambiguous bio of me and specifically my scientific pursuits.


Christian Hayes is a recent graduate from Cedarville University, receiving a BS in environmental science. While at Cedarville, Christian studied a wide range of scientific disciplines but developed an abiding interest in both the aquatic and marine ecosystems. His interest and experience will serve him well as a member of the Au Sable Boardman River restoration team.
Christian has conducted personal research in the past and presented at the 2012 Ecological Society of America Conference in Portland, Oregon. He is an Au Sable alum, having taken two courses in marine biology and marine mammals at the Pacific Rim Campus in Summer 2012. Christian has recently been accepted to the Masters in Biology program at Loma Linda University, California where he will be working with the ProTECTOR organization in Honduras to study and promote the recovery of endangered sea turtles in the Pacific Ocean. In his free time Christian enjoys hiking, piano playing, and  racquetball.
