Emily Chou
USA
Marine Mammal Research Assistant
Emily’s interest in marine conservation science and policy began when she worked at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and NOAA’s Southwest Fisheries Science Center while completing her Bachelor’s degree at the University of California, San Diego. Since then she has been involved in several conservation projects including fieldwork, marine mammal acoustics, sea turtle ecology, sea otter population monitoring, habitat modeling, and various policy activities on ocean noise and habitat designations. Emily holds a Master’s in conservation biology from Columbia University in the City of New York, and is currently working as a research assistant with the Wildlife Conservation Society. She is an avid dog-lover (and will say ‘Hi’ to the dog before the person), and strangely loathes cheese and summer.
