Jynessa Dutka-Gianelli uses community-based research that engages coastal communities, government agencies, scientists, and decision-makers to explore local fisheries and seafood industry challenges. Her research integrates fisheries science and participatory approaches to understand changing climate and socio-ecological impacts on fishing communities. As a PEP fellow, she will develop a series of short articles for policymakers and public audiences and share her research through media interviews and blog posts to communicate her work on topics related to renewable energy, ocean ecosystems, and shoreline communities.
