As our last assignment, we created a brief aimed at government policymakers who are interested in formulating or influencing policy.

We were tasked with choosing a highly-specific topic, and I wanted to choose something close to home.  Throughout the term I had heard about glass sponges in Howe Sound, so I decided to look into them further.  It turns out they are crazy cool, super rare, and desperately in need of further protection from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans.

Check out my policy brief below to learn more about the incredible & threatened glass sponges in Howe Sound.
