Welcome to christopherneff.com

Thank you for stopping by my website. It has been a continuing lesson to keep this updated and I welcome your thoughts or feedback!

I am now living in Burlington, Vermont and enjoying being back in New England and working on lgbtq issues. This is a beautiful part of the country with some of the friendliest people I've ever met :)

Back from Sydney (2009) 

I went to Sydney for New Year's 2009 and spent three weeks with my wonderful friends! Pics below  - special thanks to Alexio, Zachy, and the whole gang!!

Finishing what I started in Sydney:

I studied marine policy issues while in Australia, first as a Graduate Research Assistant on a review of the Great Barrier Reef and second, through two papers I've written on sharks that have been accepted in a review of Australia's national shark conservation policies.  

I have always loved studying sharks (since 3rd grade) so I was excited to be able to research and contribute to the debate about their conservation. SO - my Honours Thesis  reviewed the impact that shark attacks have on the development of shark conservation policies in the United States, Australia and South Africa.
