Professional and Academic Summary:
Hello, and thanks for visiting! My name is Brianna Elliott, and I am a PhD candidate in Marine Science and Conservation at Duke University. I have interdisciplinary interests in international fisheries, particularly bycatch management. My dissertation research addresses small cetacean bycatch in tuna drift gillnet fisheries in the Indian Ocean under the supervision of Dr. Andy Read. I developed these interests in fisheries law, science, and policy through a range of academic and professional experiences, including as a Foreign Affairs Specialist at the National Marine Fisheries Service Office of International Affairs and Seafood Inspection, a NOAA John A. Knauss Marine Policy Fellow at the U.S. Department of State, and a consultant in the Duke Environmental Law and Policy Clinic.
Prior to these positions, I received a Master of Environmental Management from Duke University. My master's work involved conducting an analysis of the efficacy of critical habitat designations for marine mammal conservation, as well as working on several legal cases related to bycatch and pollution via the Duke Environmental Law and Policy Clinic. I have a Bachelor of Science from the University of North Carolina Wilmington, where I studied sea turtle biology and conservation in Dr. Amanda Southwood Williard's lab.
In my former life before pursuing graduate school, I held several field positions and then worked in science communication as an editor for Oceana. Though hard to choose, my favorite field experience has been assisting with tagging Hawaiian monk seals on Kauai in the summer of 2016.
