Suzie O'Neill

Coastal Communities and Fisheries Coordinator

As the Coastal Communities & Fisheries Coordinator at Ecotrust, I support project and budget management for our work in fisheries, food systems, mariculture, and Tribal stewardship along the West Coast. Before joining Ecotrust, I worked on an oyster farm, completed an aquaculture workforce training program at the University of Alaska Southeast, and served as the West Coast Ocean Alliance Aquaculture Fellow at NOAA Fisheries. Outside of work, I enjoy fishing, playing music with friends (I’m usually on drums!), and cheering on the Seattle Storm.
