Gabrielle Carmine, PhD candidate

Gabrielle Carmine is currently a 6th year PhD candidate at Duke University in the Marine Geospatial Ecology Lab directed by Dr. Patrick N. Halpin. Her doctoral research focuses on high seas fisheries, corporate powers, and international ocean governance including the United Nations high seas biodiversity treaty. Her work aims to examine high seas fisheries using Global Fishing Watch data to calculate fishing effort for corporate actors. She then apply these findings to Regional Fisheries Management Organization (RFMO) activities and conservation measures. The goal of this work is to ensure protection of the high seas from corporate powers and provide a unique lens to view accountability for the use and protection of marine biodiversity.
