Biography
Gail Osherenko (JD University of California, Davis 1975) is a research scientist (in law and policy) at UCSB’s Marine Science Institute. Before coming to UCSB in 2003, Ms. Osherenko wrote and taught on issues of regime formation, natural resource management, and indigenous rights in the Arctic from her base at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire. After law school, she was a legislative assistant for a California state senator working primarily on the California Coastal Act. After moving to Washington DC in 1977, she spearheaded Congressional passage of legislation to create the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area as well as working on legislation to create the Channel Islands National Park. Subsequently she practiced law in the Appellate Section of the US Justice Department’s land and natural resources division and at the Council of Environmental Quality. She has worked for and served on the boards of various environmental organizations, and is currently on the Board of the Environmental Defense Center based in Santa Barbara. While living in Vermont, she was appointed by Governor Dean as a member of that state’s Water Resources Board. She is the co-author and co-editor of several books dealing with environmental issues as well as conflict and regime theory.
