COMPASS (Communication Partnership for Science and the Sea) is a collaborative effort to advance marine conservation science and communicate scientific knowledge to policymakers, the public, and the media. Its mission is to accelerate the pace of solving important marine environmental problems. COMPASS is a collaborative effort of SeaWeb, the Monterey Bay Aquarium's Center for the Future of the Oceans , and a group of academic scientists dedicated to advancing and communicating marine conservation science. I serve as one of these Science Advisors.
Among the COMPASS activities to which I have contributed are:
- Managing for Resilience: An Integrated Approach to Coastal Marine Science and Conservation August 2004
- Scientific Consensus Statement on Marine Ecosystem-Based Management
