Name and Pronouns: Marley Kott (he/him)

Senior thesis title and description: "Assessing black coral habitat in American Samoa"

I used bathymetry data gathered from seafloor mapping to determine whether the Manu'a Islands of American Samoa provide suitable habitat for deep sea black coral.

Most memorable experience as an undergraduate in the School of Oceanography: The senior thesis cruise

Favorite class: Ocean 210. This is the class that really cemented my decision to major in oceanography!

Future plans after graduation: I'm planning to go into the fisheries management industry.
