Allison Kellum

Allison Kellum graduated from Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego with a Master of Advanced Studies in marine biodiversity and conservation in 2018 where she assessed the extent to which volunteering with marine protected area (MPA) monitoring efforts affects angler opinions of California’s MPA network. To date, Kellum has experience with the Net Gains alliance, she developed and evaluated school programs, and coordinated volunteers through the AmeriCorps service program at the Port Townsend Marine Science Center in Washington.

At the California Ocean Protection Council, Kellum will be coordinating state-wide efforts to communicate about sea-level rise impacts and options for adaptation.
