Introducing Elise Stull, who has temporarily joined our team on a four-month attachment. She’ll be supporting the Secretariat through WCPFC’s busy season under direction of Executive Director Rhea Moss-Christian and Compliance Manager Lara Manarangi-Trott.
Elise is a lawyer who has worked for a decade with the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) and other Pacific small island developing States on climate change, oceans and fisheries issues. She supported FSM at WCPFC’s 14th annual meeting in 2017 as well as at various fisheries and oceans meetings at the United Nations over the years.
In addition, she served as the Coordinator of the International MCS Network from 2014-2016, during which it hosted a global workshop in Auckland, New Zealand with high participation from the Pacific region.
