The St. Anne’s-Belfield Environmental Statistics Senior Seminar is a field-based class that combines environmental science and statistics. Through researching local freshwater aquatic life, the class has accumulated data over the course of six years, which has contributed to a much larger project of understanding an endangered species. The main goal of the class is determining the ideal habitat for the James River spiny mussel (JRSM), in order to potentially introduce them to more bodies of water and reverse their population decline.
