Our Services
Ringer Consulting provides practical, research-driven solutions for coastal communities, fisheries, and resource management. We combine social science expertise, cultural knowledge, and applied problem-solving to help communities thrive in the face of change. Engagements are tailored to local context and can stand alone or be combined.

Applied Research & Analysis
Community-centered social science research using political ecology and fisheries anthropology methodologies. Remote archaeological field work is a Ringer Consulting specialty.

Speaking, Teaching & Collaboration
Guest lectures, trainings, conference presentations, and collaborative projects focused on fisheries, political ecology, wild seafood systems, archaeology, and Alaska coastal communities.

Community Engagement & Facilitation
Design and facilitation of workshops, listening sessions, and community conversations that prioritize trust, reciprocity, and local knowledge. This work supports inclusive participation, shared understanding, and actionable outcomes.

Fisheries Policy & Access Advising
Strategic analysis and advising on fisheries governance, regulatory structures, and access pathways. This includes translating community priorities into policy-relevant insights and helping partners navigate complex management systems while centering equity and cultural continuity.

Writing, Synthesis & Knowledge Translation
Development of reports, summaries, grant narratives, and communication materials that bridge community knowledge, science, and policy. This includes translating technical or qualitative findings into clear, usable products for diverse audiences.

How I Work
My approach is collaborative, place-based, and relationship-driven. I prioritize long-term value, clear communication, and work that respects the expertise of fishing communities while meeting partner goals and timelines.
