Decision Making & Policy

Policy, Law, Economics, Management

I work on advocating for anthropogenic underwater noise reduction policy at global and regional levels. We engage with government representatives, IMO delegations, industry members, and other NGOs in order to raise awareness of the threats posed by noise pollution and possible solutions. Though we are working towards worldwide mandatory guidelines for ocean noise, our particular focus areas a the moment are the Arctic and Latin America. 

Additionally, I work on the protection and population recovery of Cook Inlet beluga whales by focusing on reducing cumulative threats including prey availability, water quality, habitat protection, and underwater noise.
