7/19 - A BIG Thanks to our SB Volunteers!

This summer Shifting Baselines has benefitted from the efforts of a number of volunteers, especially:

SARA TOWNSEND, a recent graduate of the University of Miami (Masters in marine policy) who worked many hours researching the materials for the new MPAs feature and helped present the new PSA at the Blue Visions Conference last week in D.C.

LINETTE ANCHA, a recent graduate of the University of Arizona, who is working on the SB Educational Curriculum and will give a presentation this week on Shifting Baselines at the National Marine Educators Association conference in Tampa.

AMY SCHOENFELD, who is about to begin graduate study in Journalism at Columbia University and runs the SB Blog, coordinates the SB Photo Contest, and also attended the Blue Visions Conference.

In addition, there have been another dozen volunteers over the past year including Ree Brennin and the graduate students at the Monterey Institute of International Studies (translation of SB materials into Asian languages), Christy Mahaffey (editor of the Rotten Jellyfish Awards), and Anna Cummins (celebrity recruitment). All of your efforts are sincerely appreciated.
