Madeleine's work with the lab focused on the New England & Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Councils' synthesis of Fish Habitat and Climate Vulnerability assessments, as well as facilitating stakeholder engagement for the New England Fishery Management Council's prototype Management Strategy Evaluation for Ecosystem-Based Fisheries Management of Georges Bank. Madeleine also supported stakeholder workshops on CINAR-funded work to evaluate changes to NOAA fishery independent survey data products due to overlap with wind installation and lease areas. Madeleine holds a Master’s in Environment Politics and Development from SOAS University of London, and undergraduate degrees from North Carolina State University in Environmental Technology and Management and French Language and Literature. She has a background in fisheries and wildlife policy, and enjoys working with science communication.
