NOAA<\/a> and Sea Grant<\/a> have announced their finalists for the 2023 class of the Sea Grant John A. Knauss Policy Fellowship program, named after John A. Knauss, who founded the National Sea Grant program and served as administrator of the NOAA. Of the 86 finalists nationwide, six are graduate students from North Carolina: Carden Barkley, Anastasia Dulskiy, Claire Huang, Margaret Morrison, Rebecca Van Hoeck, and Zoe Wong.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Knauss Fellowship offers graduate students the invaluable opportunity to put their academic knowledge to practice in tackling marine, coastal, and Great Lakes management and policy challenges at the federal level,\u201d says Jonathan Pennock, National Sea Grant College Program director. \u201cWe look forward to welcoming the 2023 class of Knauss Fellows and seeing how they will apply their unique insights to developing solutions to some of the most important challenges facing the country.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

This fall, the new finalists will participate in a virtual placement week getting to know each other and interviewing with their potential host offices. Once they have received their placements, finalists begin their fellowships in February 2023.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the biggest class of Knauss Fellows that NC has ever had in any one year, with all six of our nominations receiving finalist status,\u201d says John Fear, deputy director of North Carolina Sea Grant<\/a>, a feat he notes is \u201cno doubt due to the quality each candidate brings.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

North Carolina\u2019s 2023 Knauss Fellowship finalists bring relevant experience and broad research interests to the program. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Duke University have provided educational opportunities and training grounds for these six individuals.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Headshot
Carden Barkley<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Carden Barkley <\/b>earned her master’s degree in environmental management from Duke University with a concentration in coastal environmental management. Her research at Duke focused on high seas fisheries and included an interdisciplinary evaluation of the efficacy of regional fishery management organizations\u2019 compliance and enforcement mechanisms, with the goal of developing practical policy solutions to ensure long-term sustainability for fisheries.<\/span><\/p>\n

Barkley says she plans to \u201cuse the experiences and connections afforded by the Knauss Fellowship to establish a long career in traceability policy, sustainable fisheries management, and bipartisan collaboration.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Headshot
Anastasia Dulskiy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Anastasia Dulskiy<\/b> is a master\u2019s student studying ecology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Her current work investigates the microbial ecology of temperate corals in North Carolina, providing foundational knowledge of these vital habitats with the goal of protecting coastal ecosystems.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Knauss Fellowship will allow me to extend my passion for ecology to the policy realm,\u201d Dulskiy says, \u201cpreparing me for a career in which I will utilize my knowledge of marine and coastal science to promote the conservation and sustainable use of important natural resources.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Headshot
Claire Huang<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Claire Huang <\/b>earned her master\u2019s in environmental management, including a concentration in coastal environmental management, from Duke University. Her research assessed river herring spawning migration responses to dam removal in the Chesapeake Bay, a strategy she found to be effective for habitat restoration.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAll the concrete steps I\u2019ve taken to become a scientist in policymaking have prepared me to <\/span>take on any executive or legislative position,\u201d Huang notes. \u201cThe Knauss Fellowship will empower me to pursue advanced scientific leadership roles in marine species conservation and fisheries management.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Headshot
Margaret Morrison<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Margaret Morrison<\/b> received her master\u2019s in environmental management with a concentration in coastal environmental management from Duke University. Morrison\u2019s research used geospatial analysis to study the impact of flooding on public transportation in Red Hook, New York to translate sea-level rise predictions into tangible risk assessments.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Knauss Fellowship will advance my education and career by allowing me to directly participate in the development of coastal policies and decision-making at the national level,\u201d Morrison says. \u201cI am excited by the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the federal policy design and implementation processes.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Headshot
Rebecca Van Hoeck<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Rebecca Van Hoeck <\/b>is a doctoral candidate in biology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. There, her current work focuses on marine ecosystems and how biological processes, seascape structure, and anthropogenic activity affect spatiotemporal soundscape patterns.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI have developed an ecosystem-based approach to applied questions and a broad knowledge base spanning from ecology to policy,\u201d says Van Hoeck. That experience will \u201cfacilitate my success as a Knauss Fellow, and in supporting the work of the federal government to achieve sustainable marine ecosystems and economies.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Headshot
Zoe Wong<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Zoe Wong<\/b> graduated from Duke University with a master\u2019s in environmental management, including a concentration in coastal environmental management. Wong\u2019s research looked at the future of offshore aquaculture in Hawai\u2019i, examining the state\u2019s environmental, economic, and social landscape to determine how to cultivate a sustainable local food source.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Knauss Fellowship is the best opportunity for me to gain first-hand insight into our systems of lawmaking and policy implementation,\u201d says Wong. \u201cI look forward to completing the fellowship with a deeper understanding of how to navigate the nuances and complexities of federal governance.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

These six individuals join the nearly 100 graduate students from North Carolina who have participated in the Knauss Fellowship program since 1979. Fellows completing the program have gone on to become leaders in science, policy, and public administration.<\/span><\/p>\n
