Essay :
Create a 2 to 3 page, single spaced, essay describing the role of an International, Federal, State, regional, or tribal agency with riparian, wetland, coastal or marine environmental responsibilities will be required of each student. These essays should describe the mission, roles, and responsibilities of the selected agency, its organizational structure, the number of employees, the annual budget, and other important information.
For extremely large agencies (like USEPA or USACE), a smaller subset of the agency should be chosen. The essay should be completed in technical writing style. (APA format is acceptable but not required.)
