I am deeply grateful to all of the committed, cre- ative, and spirited employees (both on and off-island), board members, interns, community members, visitors and volun- teers who make the Hurricane Island Center for Science and Leadership possible. I am especially grateful to Cait Cleaver for her oversight and support throughout this process. Sam Hallowell, Pheobe Jekielek, Jenn Page, Oakley Jackson, Josie Gates, Micah Conkling, Alice Anderson, and Chloe Tremper were all incredibly gracious and helpful in integrating me into the every- day functions of the island and taking the time to lend me their own knowledge, experiences, and the occasional boat ride. I could not have asked for a better support team on the Vermont side, including my advisor, Dr. Jeff Hughes, and commit- tee members Dr. David Barrington and Dr. Josef Gorres. Their thoughtful comments, questions, and insistence on quality made this project a piece of work I am proud of. Their sincere interest in my professional and academic development is a gift whose value is beyond measure. 1 Executive Summary In the summer of 2015, I conducted an ecological assessment of Hurricane Island, a 125-acre island in the West Penobscot Bay of Maine.
