Former president, Nicole
Bransome Mehaffie, has been selected for a 2013 Knauss Marine Policy
fellowship. She will serve as the Inaugural Knauss fellow
for the Ocean, Coastal and Great Lakes Coordination Team in the Office of
Policy Analysis at the U.S. Department of the Interior. She’ll coordinate ocean, coastal and great lakes
policies between Interior’s diverse bureaus including U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,
U.S. Geological Survey, and the National Park Service, to name a few. Her position will support the U.S. Coral Reef
Task Force and the National Ocean Council in its implementation of the National
Ocean Policy. Nicole is excited for the unique
opportunity to see how the federal government manages fisheries and a diversity
of other natural resources. The
fellowship begins February 4, 2013 and runs through January 2014.
