Bio


Stephanie Caddell graduated with a bachelor's degree in environmental science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with minors in marine science and environmental justice. While at UNC she researched marine microbiology, fisheries dynamics, and marine ecosystem dynamics in Ecuador and the Galapagos. Additionally, she has researched bycatch mitigation efforts in the North Atlantic for sea turtle species with the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration. Now working on her PhD at Stanford University with Dr. Larry Crowder, Stephanie is interested in understanding how we can better manage interactions between fishing activity and migratory species (primary sharks and turtles) off the coast of South America. She aims to understand how to bring together local community knowledge with that of the natural sciences to inform more productive policy and management strategies.
