Five UW graduates were selected for the 2021–2022 Washington Sea Grant Hershman Fellowship, including SMEA graduates Katie Byrnes, Natalie Lowell, Corinne Noufi, and Katie Shelledy. This fellowship places highly motivated, qualified individuals with marine and coastal host offices throughout Washington, providing fellows with a unique perspective on building marine policy and allowing them to share their academic expertise with the host offices. This year’s host offices are the Northwest Seaport Alliance, Puget Sound Partnership, Port of Seattle, Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission, and the Makah Tribe.
