As part of the inaugural class of
Science in Studio Award winners,
Tribal member Stephanie Fogel
has created an ad campaign called
“Keep Salmon Off Drugs.”
Fogel, who is a senior at the Pa-
cific Northwest College of Art in
Portland and set to graduate with
a bachelor’s degree this month,
created the print and web campaign
WKDWZLOOEHUHOHDVHGRIÀFLDOO\RQ
Wednesday, May 6.
The “Keep Salmon Off Drugs”
campaign will be seen in Oregon,
as well as Washington, California
and Idaho, and be featured in the
Oregonian (see ad on page 17).
“This public education effort fund-
ed by the National Oceanic and At-
mospheric Administration and the
Environmental Protection Agency
addresses the rising level of phar-
maceutical chemicals being detected
in our watersheds,” she said. “This
problem not only affects human
beings, but it also causes damage
to salmon populations. This poster
and web campaign will help raise
awareness about proper disposal of
medications, and tie human actions
to the protection of wildlife.”
In 2013, NOAA Fisheries and the
3DFLÀF1RUWKZHVW&ROOHJHRI$UWV
joined forces to bridge environ-
mental science and conservation
Stephanie Fogel
with art to create social change.
The collaboration culminated in
an animation about the importance
of near-shore habitats to salmon
recovery and what landowners can
do to support healthy habitat on
their property.
The success of the pilot project
attracted participation by the
EPA and the establishment of the
Science in Studio Award. The 2015
award winners focused on water
quality and the effect toxins have
on the landscape.
Fogel, who was one of four recip-
ients, is an interdisciplinary artist
focused on promoting community
awareness and environmental
responsibility. She designed the
multi-media campaign.

The students had to pass a theory and performance test to receive
certification.
