Shems Jud

Shems Jud leads our work in the Pacific Region. He was deeply involved with the development of the multispecies trawl IFQ program that helped lead to a dramatic rebound for the fishery, as well as a collaborative stakeholder driven process to enhance West Coast habitat protections while providing additional opportunity for fishermen. He conducts outreach and education, and works with marine stakeholders to rebuild fish stocks and protect sensitive marine habitats while revitalizing vibrant fishing communities.

Shems also advises our New England and Japan teams as they seek to develop management reforms that protect the environment, support thriving businesses and provide high quality sustainable seafood for seafood consumers.
