Mr. William Nuckols is an environmental policy specialist with a background in marine and environmental science, and over a decade of work on national policy and government efficiency. He is experienced building multidisciplinary teams and providing outreach to national and international media. His proven success record has allowed him to forward the interests of government by aligning multiple statutory authorities to accomplish what no one agency can achieve on their own.
A Marine Scientist turned Policy Strategist, Will’s environmental work is diverse and has ranged from helping recreate the wetlands half of an 1100 acre island on the Chesapeake Bay, to cleaning up derelict fishing gear from the Pacific Northwest and analyzing Atlantic Coast States’ plans for responding to sea level rise for EPA. From 2007-2009 Mr. Nuckols directly staffed the Deputy assistant Secretary of Commerce and NOAA Chief of Staff as their military liaison. He has worked with a number of non-profit groups, and is the Director for Policy and Environment for the Man in the Sea Memorial Monument, Executive Director for Eco-Tan, a non-profit environmental organization, and serves as the Director for Public Affairs for Team 4MIL – a component of the Wounded Warrior Project. Since 1998 Mr. Nuckols has served as the Principal of W.H. Nuckols Consulting.
His 20+ years of work in the field of environmental science and policy is well respected, and he has received awards and letters recognizing his contributions by President Obama, the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Civil Works, members of Congress and members of coastal and ocean industries.
His skills in strategic communications, photography, videography and his experience as a spokesperson for federal and NGO organizations has resulted in his appearance in international, national and regional TV. Radio interviews of Mr. Nuckols have appeared several times on National Public Radio in the United States, Canadian Broadcast Company, and in Australia. Articles about Mr. Nuckols’ work on oceans have appeared in print in numerous publications in several languages.
