Sascha Clark Danylchuk

Sascha Clark Danylchuk is the Executive Director of Keep Fish Wet, a nonprofit dedicated to helping anglers improve the outcome for each fish they release. Sascha has a M.S. in Aquatic Ecology from University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and has focused much of her scientific work on recreational angling, specifically catch-and-release. After working for several nonprofit organizations and nearly a decade in the Bahamian Archipelago helping to establish the Cape Eleuthera Institute, the intersection between Sascha’s work as a scientist and her passion as an angler led her to Keep Fish Wet. With a strong belief that recreational anglers have something to learn from fisheries scientists and that scientists need to make their work accessible to a wider audience, Sascha endeavors to develop a space in which effective communication and changing social norms can help create more resilient recreational fisheries around the world.
