Welcome to my senior thesis page. My whole thesis has been a true passion project. Going up saltwater fishing it has been a major part of my life and ensuring the healthy populations of those fish that I love catching is crucial. My senior thesis was made to give anglers awareness about striper conservation. Through my visual aids I provide information through a soft viewing experience to spread awareness of the importance of proper angler fishing methods such as catch and release, and proper fish handling. The platform I created to promote all these concepts is a non-profit called “StripePOP“ short for striper population. StripePOP creates visuals to be posted within tackle shops, beaches, docks, and within magazines and online sites to help spread awareness to striper conservation. Visuals that I have created for StripePOP include an infographic poster, two posters showing how fishing would be without stripers, a fishing ruler, a striper lure with single hooks, a postcard version of the infographic, and a sticker game to help anglers keep track of where they’ve caught and released their stripers along the East Coast.
