The National Sea Grant Office has selected all of California Sea Grant’s candidates as recipients of 2009 Knauss Fellowships in marine policy.
These five join 44 other graduate students from around the nation for paid, 12-month fellowships in the nation’s capital with legislative and executive offices active in marine science and policy.
2009 Knauss Fellow Joshua Madeira
"Some of the professors I admire most are involved in policy," says Knauss finalist Jessica Dutton, a doctoral student in marine biology at UC Santa Barbara, explaining her interest in marine policy. “I like the idea of marrying science with something more applied, at the federal level.”
Knauss finalists are not paired with their hosts in Washington, D.C. until early 2009. Dutton has, however, identified a preference for being placed in an executive office such as the National Science Foundation, NOAA or the EPA, where she hopes to continue pursuing her interest in global climate change and ocean acidification.
2009 Knauss Fellow Stephanie Ann Oakes
“I am really excited,” says Knauss finalist Joshua Madeira, who holds a master's degree from the Donald Bren School of Environmental Science and Management at UC Santa Barbara. "It is such an amazing opportunity and an honor to be selected."
The three other Knauss Fellows from California are:
Adam Baske, a master’s student in marine biology and conservation at the Center for Marine Biology and Conservation at UC San Diego.
Alexandra Brown, a master's student at the Donald Bren School of Environmental Science and Management at UC Santa Barbara.
Stephanie Ann Oakes, a doctoral student in the Department of Ecology, Evolution and Marine Biology at UC Santa Barbara
