Daniel Okamoto of FSU has been named a recipient of the 2022 Pew Charitable Trusts fellowship. He will receive $150,000 over three years to study northern abalone, a species of large sea snail, in British Columbia’s Haida Gwaii archipelago and create management plans for the endangered species.

“My work aims to understand ecosystem dynamics through multidisciplinary sciences including field ecology, fisheries science, and advanced statistical and computational modeling, to generate conservation strategies that are equitable and just through collaboration with communities and social scientists,” said Okamoto.
