Jane

The new head of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is an Oregonian, Jane Lubchenco. Married to fellow OSU marine biologist Bruce Menge, Lubchenco is no stranger to the likes of Jasper, Amelia, Mac, and our beloved Jackie as well as our divers ocean correspondents on this blog. "While traveling around the country developing the Oceans Commission report, Lubchenco said she heard consistently from people that they want clean beaches, healthy and safe seafood, stable fisheries, abundant wildlife and vibrant coastal communities," says the Jeff Barnard's March 19 interview with Lubchenco on Huffington Post. We all say: Go, Jane, Go.
