Steve Choy studied the environmental implications of tradable catch quotas for his master’s thesis, which he earned from UC Santa Barbara in June 2008.
Choy spent his fellowship at the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary’s research program, working under the tutelage of its director, Andrew DeVogelaere, on characterizing groundfish habitats. DeVogelaere hopes that better habitat maps will help the sanctuary protect sensitive areas from new cable laying or trawling.
