What I work on

Advocacy at the water's edge

From coastal fisheries policy to ocean plastics legislation, the work sits at the intersection of science, law, and political will.

01
Marine Ecosystem Policy
Federal and international frameworks governing fisheries management, habitat protection, and marine protected areas. NOAA, MSA reauthorization, and the politics of ocean zoning.
02
Water Quality & Pollution
Nutrient runoff, industrial discharge, and the regulatory gaps that let pollution reach coastal waters. Clean Water Act enforcement, PFAS in waterways, and the communities most affected.
03
Climate & Ocean Systems
Ocean acidification, coral bleaching, and shifting species distributions — and what federal climate policy does or doesn't account for when it comes to aquatic ecosystems.
04
Shark & Apex Predator Conservation
The science and politics of protecting apex marine predators. Finning bans, bycatch reform, and why the collapse of top predators signals ecosystem-wide failure.
05
Environmental Justice
Fishing communities, Indigenous water rights, and the unequal distribution of environmental harm. The people most dependent on healthy water are rarely at the table when policy is written.
06
International Ocean Law
UNCLOS, the High Seas Treaty, and the challenge of governing the 60% of the ocean that belongs to no one — and therefore everyone.
