research and professional experience focuses on data-based and stakeholder-driven management and\/or policy solutions to complex environmental problems. Most of my work has been in policy and legislation, but focuses on synthesizing the relevant scientific, cultural and economic information while facilitating interest groups to reach a negotiated set of management changes. My graduate research and later professional work focused on how to reduce commercial shipping impacts on endangered whales off the coast of California. Management solutions were informed by a stakeholder group of marine biologists and ecologists, acousticians, environmental advocacy groups, federal and state government agencies and shipping industry representatives. I am especially interested in exploring ways to bring traditionally oppositional sides together to realize environmental, economic and social\/cultural benefits.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dig-4 heavy-man\">Selected Articles:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"pop-4\">\n<li>Joint Working Group on Vessel Strikes and Acoustic Impacts. 2012.
