Karen Kayfetz will earn a master’s degree in marine biology from the Romberg Tiburon Center at San Francisco State University in the spring of 2014. Her thesis research focused on the factors influencing the distribution of an important copepod species in the San Francisco Bay-Delta.
At the California Ocean Protection Council, my focus was on the issue of marine debris. I collaborated with the West Coast Governors’ Alliance to refine the West Coast marine debris database and to develop a policy layer for the West Coast ocean data portal. I also collaborated with the Coastal Commission, the State Water Board, and other groups to develop a report-card for trash reduction on California beaches.
