Meagan joined the Coastkeeper team in January 2008 as Marine Conservation Coordinator as part of Coastkeeper’s new Marine Conservation Campaign. SD Coastkeeper is working diligently with stakeholders and an array of other non-profit groups to increase the number, size and protections of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in Southern California through the Marine Life Protection Act Initiative in order to preserve our special and unique biological resources. She helps to coordinate outreach, research, education and marine monitoring efforts related to this campaign. In addition, she is helping to oversee the coordination of Coastkeeper’s Areas of Special Biological Significance project, which focuses on protecting water quality in La Jolla’s marine reserves.
Through her work, Meagan seeks to increase awareness of and public participation regarding marine conservation issues, as well as understanding of their relevance to our future health and well-being. Meagan graduated magna cum laude from Hawaii Pacific University with a B.S. in Marine Biology and Oceanography. She is also a PADI certified Advanced Open Water diver.
