His talk, “Lessons learned from my time at the science-policy interface” will discuss his 35 years of experience researching, communicating, and advocating for a vibrant and healthy ocean upon which all of us depend. He has been at the forefront of ocean science-policy interface at major nonprofits (Monterey Bay Aquarium and Ocean Conservancy), working on practical ocean solutions to some of the ocean’s greatest environmental challenges. He initiated, developed, and led a host of conservation programs during his time at Ocean Conservancy including offshore aquaculture, plastics pollution, ocean acidification, climate change, mesopelagic fisheries, and deep-sea mining.
