Lindsey Peavey will earn a doctorate in environmental science and management from the University of California, Santa Barbara, in spring 2016. Peavey’s dissertation research examines where and how marine turtles and mammals feed and breed, and how to best protect them in those habitats. She also earned a master’s degree in environmental science and management from Duke University in 2010.
As the first State Fellow with the NOAA NMFS Southwest Fisheries Science Center, Peavey developed ways in which dynamic ocean management (a process to identify where and when resource users can maximize profitability and reduce ecological damage) can be implemented in fisheries management at the state and federal levels.
