The Lenfest Forage Fish Task Force is comprised of thirteen preeminent scientists from around the globe, who collectively have expertise in a wide range of disciplines. This distinguished panel will be the first to undertake a comprehensive examination of the science and management of forage fish populations. |

Christine Santora is Project Director for the Lenfest Forage Fish Task Force, the first major project of the Institute for Ocean Conservation Science at Stony Brook University. Christine manages the logistics, operations, and administration of the project, and assists with research, preparation, and writing for the Task Force. Christine was previously employed for five years as a Senior Research Associate with the Pew Institute for Ocean Science, joining the Institute at the time of its founding.
Christine earned a Master’s degree in Marine Affairs with a focus on ocean policy and endangered species bycatch, and an undergraduate degree in Environmental Studies. At the Pew Institute, she worked on a wide variety of fisheries science and policy issues and provided research and organizational support. Most recently, she has researched several forage fish case studies in preparation for the Lenfest Forage Fish Task Force. In 2003, she successfully managed a three-day scientific meeting to develop a consensus on ecosystem-based fishery management, and coordinated the writing and editing process amongst the 17 co-authors of the resulting peer-reviewed publication. |

Chris Mann is a senior officer with the Pew Environment Group, the environmental program of the Pew Charitable Trusts, where he directs projects on aquaculture, management of forage fisheries, and ocean governance reform. He joined the Trusts with more than 20 years of experience in marine policy and science. Prior to joining the staff of the Trusts, he was executive director of the Marine Aquaculture Task Force, a project of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution with support from the Pew Charitable Trusts and the Lenfest Ocean Program. The Task Force brought together leaders in aquaculture, conservation, marine science and policy to recommend national standards for sustainable aquaculture in marine waters of the United States.
Chris was Ocean and Coastal Policy Director for the Pew Oceans Commission, where he oversaw the Commission’s work on ocean governance and coastal development. He managed legislative affairs on international environmental and economic issues at the State Department. Before moving to the State Department, he worked for the House of Representatives on marine resources conservation and management, first for the Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries and later for the Committee on Resources. Chris received a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Illinois and attended the University of Rhode Island’s Graduate School of Oceanography, where he conducted research on marine zooplankton ecology and behavior. |
