Four exceptional graduate students from California have been selected as finalists of this year’s prestigious John A. Knauss Marine Policy Fellowship Program, sponsored by the National Sea Grant College Program. California Sea Grant is pleased to announce the finalists will be placed in host offices in the legislative or executive branches of the U.S. that work on coastal and marine science policy for a one-year paid fellowship. They will receive their assignments in the fall and will begin their fellowship in early 2023.

California Sea Grant is pleased to announce a new team of science writers has joined the program. The six-member team will bolster outreach and increase exposure for roughly 100 projects in marine research, extension and education funded by California Sea Grant and its partners.
