* BIG NEWS * Noelle has received approval from YOUNGO, the Children and Youth Constituency of the United Nations under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), to host Bermuda's first Local Consultation of Youth (LCOY). This groundbreaking event will unite young leaders, activists and school groups to discuss and address the state of Bermuda. LCOY aims to empower Bermuda's youth, gathering their observations and recommendations while highlighting youth initiatives and projects.
Noelle will be responsible for submitting a report to the UN, which will be included in a collective document from all approved nations for consideration at COP29 in November.

Who is Noelle Young?
Aquatic Science Professional - Climate Justice Leader
Hailing from diverse roots as a mixed-race, multicultural Bermudian-Canadian, Noelle Young's upbringing was a global odyssey, marked by a profound connection with aquatic life from an early age. Currently, Noelle works with the Bermuda Ocean Prosperity Programme, furthering her commitment to marine conservation and sustainable practices. She also servesd as a consultant with Greenpeace UK and is currently consulting for the Caribbean Sustainable Aquaculture company.
Noelle has been honored with several prestigious youth delegate positions, including placements with the Island Innovation Climate Justice Leaders Academy, Ubuntu United Nations Academy, World Food Forum of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, and YOUNGA through BridgingTheGap Ventures. These roles highlight her dedication to sustainability and environmental stewardship, positioning her as a key advocate for climate justice and ocean conservation.
At the tender age of 15, Noelle graduated from the Perkiomen Preparatory School in Pennsburg, Pennsylvania. Her quest for aquatic knowledge then carried her to the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies at the University of Tasmania and to Vancouver Island University, where she delved deep into the realms of Aquaculture and Fisheries. Continuing her academic journey, Noelle later secured a Bachelor of Natural Sciences Degree from Excelsior University, focusing her studies on Aquatic Biology.
Noelle's career in aquatic science began with an internship in Bermuda's Department of Environmental Protection. Her work there encompassed a wide array of projects, including the analysis of otoliths for fish age and growth studies, data entry for the spiny lobster and guinea chick lobster fisheries, and a pivotal assessment of potential aquaculture opportunities in Bermuda.
Venturing to the Oceans Research Institute in South Africa, Noelle contributed to research involving White Sharks, cetaceans, seals, and aquarium operations.
Following this, she dedicated several years of practicum and employment to the Big Qualicum and Rosewall fish hatcheries operated by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada. These experiences exposed her to a plethora of natural and artificial enhancement techniques aimed at bolstering wild fish populations.
Subsequently, Noelle assumed the role of an Aquaculture Technician at Marine Harvest Canada's Dalrymple Hatchery on Vancouver Island, BC. Her primary focus was the nurturing of early-life Salmonids within innovative recirculating aquaculture systems. These systems incorporated cutting-edge technologies like mixed bed bioreactors, diffused aeration basins, and low head oxygenation, all designed to provide modern, high-efficiency solutions within a compact footprint.
Noelle's journey has not only enriched her understanding of aquatic life but also fostered an open-minded approach to the various aquaculture techniques employed across the globe. Her diverse experiences have refined her comprehension of the intricate science of aquaculture, enabling her to contribute meaningfully to the field.
Through her academic background and professional experiences, Noelle Young stands as a dedicated and knowledgeable advocate for ocean sustainability and climate justice.

She hopes to one day establish an Aquaculture Research Centre in Bermuda, which includes launching a non-profit organization called SALTED: Supporting Advanced Learners in Technology and Eco-Development.This organization will be focused on nurturing STEAM-passionate women and girls who face adversity, have special educational needs, or disabilities.
