Chelsea Campbell (Kovalcsik) is the Entanglement Coordinator and Island Sentinel for ECO! She leads the disentanglement and bio-sampling programs for the Tribe but assists other Island Sentinels and Staff with research/activities such as drone surveys, marine mammal strandings, and necropsies. Chelsea got her B.S. degree in Environmental Science in 2016 from Chatham University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Chelsea is currently pursuing her Ph.D. in Marine Biology from the University of Alaska Fairbanks in Dr. Lara Horstmann’s Marine Mammal Lab. Her research is broadly focused on the population decline of laaqudax̂ and through this work, she is attempting to quantify laaqudax̂ risk of exposure to environmental and anthropogenic contamination/toxins that could impact the subsistence users in the region. Originally from Ohio, Chelsea has lived in various places around the US but has happily called Alaska home since 2017.​
