The “obstructionist” profile of Adrienne Berchtold
In the summer of 2015 Adrienne Berchtold was still a student at Simon Fraser University (SFU) her project was a trip down to Eleuthera to continue their research on various aspects of the lionfish invasion in The Bahamas. Adrienne Berchtold, an MSc student, spent the summer answering these questions. “Her project required catching parrotfish off of high lionfish density and low lionfish density patch reefs throughout the summer. Why the density difference? Adrienne is interested in whether parrotfish from high density reefs have perhaps learned to recognize lionfish as predators and as such are more effective at evading them than parrotfish from low density reefs that may not recognize lionfish as predators and are more susceptible to predation.”
Adrienne Berchtold got her Master’s Degree in Biology 2017 and landed a job working for Skeenawild Conservation Trust less than a year later. With a fresh degree in hand her job was to discredit the Mining industry, Skeenawild Conservation Trust is and always was an organization focused on stopping, blocking or driving up the costs of the resource industry in British Columbia.
So it comes as no surprise to see her line up with CBC to increase the volume of noise directed at the Mining Industry.
