Short-term Fellow
June 2026 – August 2026

Mentored by: Michael Dueñas, Fisheries Supervisor, Guam Department of Agriculture, Division of Aquatic and Wildlife Resources (DAWR)

Growing up in Guam sparked Enqi Yang's lifelong passion for the island's marine environment and fisheries. Through the Navigating Home Fellowship, he is gaining practical experience with the Guam Department of Agriculture's Division of Aquatic and Wildlife Resources, where he is learning how fisheries science, community outreach, and resource management work together to support sustainable marine ecosystems.

By participating in fisheries surveys, biological research, public education, and youth outreach, Enqi is developing the knowledge and skills needed to address the challenges facing Guam's fisheries. The fellowship has strengthened his commitment to pursuing graduate studies in Marine Resource Economics, with the goal of returning to Guam equipped to help develop science-based solutions that support local fishermen, protect marine resources, and ensure future generations can continue to rely on and enjoy the island's ocean.
