Funded by the National Sea Grant College Program<\/a>, the fellowship honors John A.

Her thesis project included creating a model to determine how various marine protected area network configurations affect species. She will work as an international liaison for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration\u2019s (NOAA) Ocean Acidification Program.<\/p>\n

Hamilton received a master\u2019s degree in environmental management from Duke University, concentrating in coastal environmental management. Her thesis explored international aid for small-scale fisheries and considered how future aid efforts could align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Hamilton will serve in the U.S. Department of State\u2019s Office of Marine Conservation.<\/p>\n
