The ELI Ocean Program is a major new effort to conserve and protect the marine environment by addressing governance conflicts, gaps, and needs. Dr. Kathryn Mengerink, Director of the Ocean Program, leads ELI’s efforts to:
- Advance effective implementation of existing laws and regulations governing or affecting the oceans;
- Explore new law and policy options to fill legal and regulatory gaps; and
- Develop policies and strategies that foster stakeholder and community involvement in all levels of governance.
