Advocate for the Seas
Been to SeaWorld recently? If you visited the dolphins in 2007, you might have seen attorney Taryn Kiekow training dolphins or educating visitors about these fascinating creatures. Now this SCUBA diver and lifelong swimmer works to care for dolphins and other marine life through the court system: as a staff attorney in the Marine Mammal Protection Project at NRDC's Los Angeles office, working on the issue of high-intensity underwater sound. She is involved in legal and political advocacy to ensure the safe use of sonar by the U.S. Navy and this June presented on the issue of ocean noise at the United Nations.
Taryn received her law degree from the University of Virginia School of Law in 2001. Before coming to NRDC in 2008, Taryn clerked for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, practiced environmental law at private law firms and represented environmental groups pro bono. At NRDC she is involved in marine mammal protection -- but also in a new effort to protect Bristol Bay, Alaska, where the huge salmon runs support one of the most productive commercial fisheries in the world, the livelihoods of thousands of Alaskans, indigenous people and a vast array of wildlife. At issue is the proposed Pebble Mine, which would be one of the largest copper and gold mines in the world if developed, consisting of an open pit mine over two miles wide and 2,000 feet deep, and requiring one of the largest earthen dams in the United States (740 feet high, 4.3 miles long), larger than China's Three Gorges Dam. Read about Pebble Mine and make your voice heard here.
Learn more about the effects of military sonar on marine life here and read Taryn's blog for updates on the issues she works on.
