Beth Darrow Senior �I Scientist Barrow@bhic.org (mailto:darrow@bhic.org) Beth grew up in Northern Virginia, vacationing with her family in Delaware and Cape Cod as a child, where she participated in naturalist programs and developed a passion for coastal ecology. She holds a B.A. in Biology and Environmental Science from the University of Virginia, an M.S. in Marine https:/twww.bhic.org/staff/ 3/23 Science from the College of William and Mary, and a Ph.D, in Marine Science from the University of South Alabama. Beth has lived in Wilmington since 2014, and taught classes and led research projects in UNCW's Department of Biology and Marine Biology for four years. Her research specialty is estuarine ecology; specifically, using bivalves such as oysters and clams as indicators of land -use change. She is interested in water quality, marsh ecology, and exploring how humans can sustainably fit into the coastal environment. When she is not at BHIC she can also be found at her sons' baseball games or Cub Scout events, or gardening, kayaking, or cycling. Beth is looking forward to further developing the Conservancy's research program, and strengthening relationships with scientific collaborators in the Cape Fear region and beyond. 6/17/2019 Elizabeth S. Darrow - Home ESTUARINE ECOLOGY Beth's research is on organisms and processes in estuarine areas where the sea is in close contact with land, and where humans have changing influences on the environment. She conducts interdisciplinary, collaborative re4earch with ether marine scientists, federal and state policymakers. anthropologists. and paleoecologists. Stable isotopes and microbial indicators are her methods of choice to trace changing nutrient and organic matter sources to the water column. sediments and organisms throughout the food web At Bald Head Island Conservancy, Beth leads barrier -island conservation research and monitoring programs. which include marsh creek water quality, aquifer monitoring, dune and maritime forest ecology. sea turtle protection, and white-tailed deer population management I I ?API III - New I NEWS: New role at Bald Head Island Conservancy Beth has taken a newjob as Senior Scientist at a small but effective non-profit organization, Bald rlead island Conservancy. Bald Head Island is the southernmost point in North Carolina, an island only accessible by ferry, at the mouth of the Cape Fear River. At her new job, she will still be involved in research on her first loves, water quality and shellfish biology, but will expand her reach to other issues regarding barrier island conservation. Beth will continue to work at UNCW on a part-time basis, primarily leading our NERRS Science Collaborative grant on shellfish aquaculture.

Research focuses on tracing nutrient and organic matter sources to the water column, sediments, and organisms throughout the food web, focusing on commercially -important bivalve species as indicator organisms. The lab conducts interdisciplinary, collaborative research with other marine scientists, federal and state policymakers, anthropologists, and paleoecologists, to support coastal resource management decisions.

He is particularly interested in how coastal sedimentation and morphology evolves over time scales ranging from days to millennia with changes in sea level, storminess, and land use. He also collaborates with many of his colleagues at UNC examining anthropogenic and climate impacts on the ecogeomorphology of marsh, oyster -reef, and beach environments.
