- Workshop planning and development: Engaged representative stakeholders in identifying trends, discussing solutions to current threats, and assessing and enhancing the resilience of Great Lakes coastal wetlands by contributing to the development of a workshop for ECCC.- Research, development of conceptual diagrams: Provided a comprehensive overview for participants by conducting literature reviews, and creating accompanying conceptual diagrams on topics of wetland historical status and trends, and their ecological, social, and economic significance, allowing productive discussion to occur.

- Project management: conserved vulnerable shoreline, protected native biodiversity, and restored critical habitat by helping to create and manage the Phragmites australis Project. Ensured fieldwork completion by writing a successful grant application ($72,666), planning logistics, and coordinating stakeholders, funding and resources- Public outreach and communication: increased public awareness and volunteer participation by attending events along the southeastern shoreline of Georgian Bay and presenting to groups of up to 100 people, communicating current research, status, and trends, and creating Phragmites identification booklet and volunteer event posters- Fieldwork: collected and incubated samples for a water quality assessment study in the harbour of a small cottage community. Digitized the data for subsequent analysis. Study results revealed that E. coli was of animal origin, and levels well below provincial standards
