PROFILE

Tom Rudolph works with partners on Pew’s conservation Canada project to advance marine conservation and sustainable resource management, including protected areas and sustainable fishing, with a focus on coastal and offshore British Columbia. He also works to promote sustainable and inclusive development of seaweed farming in the Pacific Northwest, to maximize benefits for people and nature in this promising new industry. Previously at Pew, he worked on fisheries management and protected areas on the U.S. West and East coasts.

Before that, Rudolph worked for the Cape Cod Commercial Hook Fishermen’s Association (now the Cape Cod Commercial Fishermen’s Alliance), where he worked on campaigns to protect forage fish and on cooperative fisheries research. His research resulted in several articles in peer-reviewed journals on topics such as fish-discard mortality and bycatch reduction. He also worked as a deckhand on commercial fishing vessels.

Rudolph holds a bachelor’s degree in animal science from Cornell University.
