The Hershman Fellowship offers a first-hand experience in crafting marine and natural resource policies and enables fellows to share their academic expertise with state decision makers. 2011 host agencies are the state Department of Ecology, Department of Natural Resources, Department of Health and the Puget Sound Partnership. Projects for this year include coastal hazards, conflicting uses of harbor areas, harmful algal blooms, marine spatial planning, planning and management of aquatic resources, and the science and management of Puget Sound cleanup and restoration efforts.
