Fellow, von der Heyden Global Fellows

Dana I. Grieco is a doctoral candidate in Marine Science and Conservation at the Duke University Marine Lab, where she studies how climate change impacts small-scale, data-poor coral reef fisheries, and identifies how conservation can be leveraged as a tool to mitigate these impacts. As an interdisciplinary scholar, Dana investigates reef fisheries by looking holistically at both the reef fish and dependent communities. The aims of this work are to 1) generate evidence-based insights on how conservation interventions can lead to sustainable outcomes for tropical fishery systems in the face of climate change, 2) advance research methods in coral-reef fishery assessments, and 3) inform fisheries practice.
