Get to know the latest Ocean Decade Knauss Fellow!

Fresh from her trip to the UN Ocean Conference, this month Taylor continues the trend of interviewing the current John A. Knauss Marine Policy Fellow who's working on the Ocean Decade at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Current Ocean Decade Fellow Kaitlen Lang and Taylor discuss their experiences in Portugal, Kaitlen's interesting path to the Ocean Decade via Great Lakes stakeholder management, and the progress that the U.S. and NOAA have made on the Ocean Decade since Taylor's Knauss Fellowship in 2020! To learn more about the Knauss Fellowship, visit https://seagrant.noaa.gov/Prospective and keep an eye out for the #DecadeDad pins (you'll have to listen to the episode to get that joke!)
