We’re thrilled to welcome Nicole Naar to the Science Advisory Committee! Please find the following introduction Nicole graciously shared.
Saludos, y’all! I’m a Social Science and Education Specialist at Washington Sea Grant, where I also lead the Integrated Knowledge and Education Team.
At Washington Sea Grant I use social science methods, education tools and facilitation strategies to help Washington coastal communities identify shared needs, build partnerships, and design collaborative solutions. My work has covered ecosystem-based management, shellfish aquaculture, seaweed aquaculture, kelp conservation, and small-scale fisheries management.
I love working in the “in-between” spaces: between social and natural science, research and application, teaching and learning, Spanish and English. and weaving together multiple perspectives and approaches. I’m excited to join the Science Advisory Committee and work in partnership with all of you!
Our Science Advisory Committee (SAC) serves a key role working with the NW Straits Commission to advance the use of science in all forms.
