Senior🎓
Top SchoolSean Lucey is a Division Director and fisheries scientist with over 20 years of cross‑sector experience translating ocean science into policy and operational outcomes for federal agencies and industry. He has led ecosystem modeling, large multidisciplinary programs, and stakeholder engagement efforts—most recently shaping fisheries strategies for offshore wind development and authoring monitoring programs that met statutory requirements. At NOAA he served as a principal analyst and US chair for international working groups, led State of the Ecosystem reporting, and co-designed NOAA’s IN FISH diversity internship, demonstrating both technical depth and mentorship. Sean combines hands‑on field experience from commercial fishing and research cruises with strategic program leadership, giving him a rare operational perspective on data, modeling, and management. Based in Falmouth, MA, he focuses on creating net‑positive outcomes at the nexus of renewable energy, biodiversity, and sustainable seafood. A detail that often surprises collaborators: he pairs advanced ecosystem assessment skills with practical database and QC experience developed early in his career.
