Becca Robbins Gisclair - Policy Director

Becca joined the YRDFA staff as Policy Coordinator in November, 2005. Prior to joining YRDFA, she worked on Alaska ocean policy and fisheries management issues for Oceana and the Ocean Conservancy. Becca worked with fishing and indigenous communities in Mexico in preparation for the 2002 World Trade Organization Ministerial as part of her work at the International Forum on Globalization (IFG), a San Francisco-based think tank. Becca's articles on fisheries management and community-based fisheries have appeared in the West-Northwest Journal of Environmental Law and the Environmental News Network. She has also written extensively on the impacts of trade and globalization on the environment and indigenous, fishing and farming communities for the IFG.

Becca holds a B.A. in history from Stanford University and a J.D. from the University of California, Hastings College of the Law where she was Executive Editor of the Hastings International and Comparative Law Review.

Raised in rural Connecticut, Becca is incredibly excited to be living in a place with seasons again, and out of the office can be found enjoying Alaska's spectacular fisheries with flyrod in hand, or hiking, skiing, kayaking or canoeing with husband Kurtis & husky dog Rainey.
