Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant (IISG) welcomes Natty Morrison, the program’s new communications coordinator. Housed in Purdue University’s campus in West Lafayette, Indiana, Morrison will develop and maintain the programs and products that promote and highlight IISG’s research, outreach and education efforts.

“The Great Lakes deserve to be protected and preserved for everyone to enjoy,” said Morrison. “I am thrilled to join such this passionate and forward-thinking team of scientists and researchers as we tell the impactful stories of their work.”

He will provide support to IISG specialists, researchers, and outreach professionals in Indiana and Illinois to disseminate unbiased, science-based communication through written and multimedia content.

In his role with IISG, Morrison will manage the communication program, including overseeing the intake of new work, developing content, and managing the delivery of communication products and programs. He’ll also focus on strategy and future-planning by researching and incorporating emerging technologies for communicating with key audiences.

Morrison brings over a decade of experience in journalism, marketing, and content strategy in writing positions at both in-house marketing teams and creative agencies. He has developed and executed content strategies for a range of industries, including B2B tech, healthcare, medical device manufacturing and digital marketing, with a focus on driving engagement, improving SEO performance, and crafting compelling narratives. Morrison received his Bachelor of Arts from Purdue University where he majored in Professional Writing.

Coastal protection is not limited to concrete, rocks, and steel. Coastal protection solutions exist on a spectrum, ranging from softer “green” solutions to harder “gray” structures.

Nature-based coastal solutions fall between green and gray techniques, providing multiple benefits to people and habitats.

Our three-part video series, Nature-Based Coastal Solutions in the Great Lakes, is now available to watch. Learn how nature-based coastal solutions, including nature-driven and hybrid approaches, can protect shorelines while supporting ecosystems and communities.

Managers and researchers can be faced with a need to classify the risk of new crayfish invaders. Rapid assessment tools, such as the Science-based Tools for Assessing Invasion Risk (STAIR), can assist in this process by providing a streamlined framework for analysis and decision-making.

Join us for an ICC webinar with John Bieber from Loyola University Chicago to learn how rapid assessment tools are used to classify invasive species risk and how STAIR can support invasive crayfish management.
