Anne Zegers

Joining Manomet in April of 2024 as Sea Run Fisheries Monitoring Coordinator, Anne is based in East Machias, Maine. She works with a diverse array of partners including commercial harvesters, NGOs, and state, tribal, and federal agencies to track the abundance of sea-run river herring across the region and monitor the shifting environmental conditions that impact them.

Raised by biologists in the heart of Eastern Maine’s conservation community, Anne rebelled by spending her college years studying Creative Writing (and Geology) at Cornell College (Mount Vernon, Iowa). After graduating in 2016, and a brief stint as a receptionist, Anne returned to her roots, working in Atlantic Salmon conservation, first with river-restoration group Project S.H.A.R.E., then as a field technician for the Maine Department of Marine Resources’ Bureau of Sea Run Fisheries.

Anne is fascinated by the unique ties binding communities to the landscapes they inhabit, especially the woods, rivers, and rocky coasts of Eastern Maine. In her spare time, Anne explores local history as secretary of the Revolutionary War Reenactors of Downeast Maine, and regularly portrays a British Marine – look, someone’s got to do it – wishing that his fine, red coat wasn’t such a compelling target.

She holds a bachelor’s degree in environmental sciences, a Diploma in Natural Resource Management and Conservation from the Autonomous University of Yucatán, and a Master’s in Media Psychology from the University of Salford Manchester (UK).

Her work highlights partner achievements, strengthens strategic engagement, and aligns storytelling with Manomet’s conservation goals.

She brings over 15 years of experience in wildlife conservation, built at the intersection of environmental science, ornithology, and digital communication. Her path began in 2008 at Guyra Paraguay, where she spent a decade supporting field work, waterbird censuses, supporting biological monitoring projects, and delivering environmental education in rural and indigenous communities. She also served as Communications Officer for WWF Paraguay, driving national campaigns on reforestation, freshwater protection, and forest conservation.

Before joining Manomet, Andrea worked for the World Land Trust as Social Media Officer. As a visual storyteller, she has documented conservation projects in Colombia and Paraguay, contributed to nature guides and photographic books, and has been teaching photography since 2009.

Passionate about connecting people to nature, Andrea uses evidence-based communication strategies to inspire action for conservation across the hemisphere.
