Nora Ives

Marine Scientist

Oceana Staff

Nora joined Oceana as a Marine Scientist on the North Atlantic right whale campaign in July 2024.

She has an interdisciplinary background in science, education and storytelling, and holds a bachelor’s degree in theater from the College of William and Mary and a master’s degree in Coastal Environmental Management from Duke University. For her master’s project she developed habitat suitability maps for endangered elasmobranch nurseries with the Marine Geospatial Ecology Lab at Duke University.

She has over 10 years of diverse experience ranging from teaching in the field and the classroom, working on grassroots campaigns, in the private sector, and for state government. Most recently she worked as an analyst for the California Coastal Commission.

Nora is thrilled to join the team at Oceana working to protect the critically endangered North Atlantic right whale. When not at work, Nora enjoys traipsing through the woods, binoculars in hand as a self-proclaimed bird nerd, while also keeping an eye on the surf forecast for long weekends at the beach.
