Congratulations to New Knauss Fellows

Congratulations to the five new Knauss Marine Policy Fellows from Washington State schools. Of the 125 applications across the country that applied for the coveted John A. Knauss Marine Policy Fellowship program this year, five of those 65 finalists were recommended by Washington Sea Grant, the most we have ever had accepted. 

Kudos to WSG alum Annie Hillier

In a paper published in the PLOS – One   journal, Annie Hillier proves that it matters how you write as much as what you write when it comes to climate change.
