Summary
Kristin Marshall is a fisheries biologist and population ecology program manager with a decade of experience applying management strategy evaluation and simulation modeling to west coast fish species, food webs, and social-ecological systems. Based at NOAA’s Northwest Fisheries Science Center in Seattle, she explores climate, harvest, and species interaction risks for people and marine ecosystems using tools like Atlantis and custom R-based support tools. Her work bridges field-based ecological insight—from a PhD studying wolves, elk, and willows—to applied ecosystem modeling and decision-support for integrated ecosystem assessments. Kristin is known for translating complex ecological dynamics into practical management strategies and for synthesizing cross-taxa diet and food-web data to inform policy-relevant scenarios.
