Kendra Moore is an officer with Pew’s conservation Canada and seaweed farming projects, supporting marine protection and sustainable resource management. She works with partners to advance marine protected areas in British Columbia, the development of sustainable and inclusive seaweed farming on British Columbia’s coast, and sustainable fisheries management, including addressing key threats to whales.

Before joining Pew, Moore held positions with the federal government of Canada and with a nongovernmental organization to advance marine mammal conservation. This included supporting networks across Canada to safely and effectively respond to marine mammal emergencies and implementing management measures—such as fishing, vessel, and disturbance mitigation rules—to support the recovery of at-risk whale populations.
