PROFILE

Zack Greenberg works to build a more resilient environment for people and nature for Pew’s U.S. conservation project. In this role, he partners with federal and state governments and community leaders to advance science-based conservation policies and outcomes. Greenberg leads Pew’s engagement with the Sentinel Landscapes Partnership, a collaboration among the U.S. Departments of Agriculture, Defense, and the Interior. He also leads Pew’s work to restore U.S. aquaculture through the Supporting Oyster Aquaculture and Restoration program, a joint effort of Pew and The Nature Conservancy. Greenberg previously focused on protecting valuable marine and nearshore habitats and advancing an ecosystem-based approach in fisheries management plans. In that role, he secured more than $13 million for habitat restoration and climate resiliency in Chesapeake Bay and helped establish the first ecosystem-based fishery management plan for Atlantic menhaden.

Before joining Pew, Greenberg was a campaign manager with the Dewey Square Group, where he worked on issues including energy, health care, and education.

Greenberg holds a dual bachelor’s degree in environmental studies and history from Northeastern University and a master’s in environmental law and policy from Vermont Law School.
