Nicole Selected As A 2013 Knauss Felllow



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.
