Caroline Potter’s passion is fisheries policy. She is a 2023 Knauss Fellow with the National Marine Fishery Service’s Office of Sustainable Fisheries, Domestic Fisheries Division. While obtaining her master’s at the School of Marine and Environmental Affairs at the University of Washington, she worked with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations to evaluate how well area-based fisheries management measures meet other effective area-based conservation measures criteria and contribute to global biodiversity targets. Caroline received her undergraduate degree in Human Ecology from the College of the Atlantic where she specialized in environmental law and policy. During that time, she worked with the Wisconsin Bureau of Fisheries Management in reviewing policy and guidance documents to meet the requirements of a new state act.
