PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE 

Senior Scientist and President, Marine Ecology and Technology Applications, Inc.

Mission: Our company is interested in nurturing the process of technogenesis* in local, regional and national institutions. We find innovative new applications for existing technology and identify new technologies needed for marine ecology and conservation sciences. We also work to enhance the transfer of knowledge among industry, academic and resource management professionals and aid these professionals in communicating with the public. At META we feel strongly that public education on marine biology and resource issues, and how new technologies are developed and applied to these issues, is a critical component of technogenesis on all geographic scales. Ultimately public “buy-in” is necessary for technogenesis to succeed.

* “The educational frontier where students, faculty and industry jointly nurture new technologies from concept to commercialization, and back to the classroom.” Stevens Institute of Technology

Adjunct Assistant Professor, Graduate Faculty, Department of Natural Resources Conservation, School of Food and Natural Resources, University of Massachusetts at Amherst. Sept. 1, 1995 - present. Serve on thesis committees of three students. Co-taught, with Dr. Francis Juanes, a graduate seminar course in Trophic Dynamics during spring 1997. I taught an adult education class in Fish Ecology at Falmouth High School in 2000. I am currently conducting studies on the behavior and habitat use patterns of salt marsh nekton. Of particular interest is the relationship between cyclic fluctuations in environmental gradients to species zonation and tidal and diel migration patterns. More recently I have begun studies on soniferous behavior of fishes which address the role of vocal communication in reproductive behaviors, and that attempts to address habitat use questions (e.g., identification of essential spawning habitats/conditions) by monitoring spatial and temporal patterns in calling behavior. One current project is to study the soniferous behavior of spawning haddock in the Gulf of Maine. Another is to conduct the first survey of ambient background underwater noise levels in four major river systems of New England.

Board of Directors, The River Project. A nonprofit environmental organization founded in 1986 to inform the public about the Hudson River environment (http://www.riverproject.org). Plans are to rebuild The River Project as part of the new Tribeca section of the Hudson River Park now under construction. Pier 40 West St. & Houston st. 2nd floor, New York, NY. 2007-present.

Program Manager, Fisheries Observations Program, School for Marine Science and Technology. March 1, 2003 - November 18, 2005. Responsible for managing a multidisiplinary program to collect fisheries related data from industry based research programs. Major components included managing the Georges Bank High Resolution Trawl Survey, two major Atlantic Cod tagging projects, and a yellowtail flounder tagging project in the Gulf of Maine and Georges Bank areas. The program involved extensive collaboration with the New Bedford and other New England commercial fishing fleets. Direct supervision of three technicians. March 1, 2003 – November 17, 2005.

Program Manager, Mount Hope Bay Natural Laboratory, School for Marine Science and Technology (SMAST) at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. November 18, 2001- March 1, 2003.

Responsible for supervising research activities of 9 staff (GS-05 to GS-12) interested in determining food web structure on the northeast continental shelf, and in the implications of feeding interactions and harvesting on fish community structure. A large part of my duties included serving as the site manager of the NOAA Coastal Oceans Program Georges Bank Predator Prey Study (Principle Investigator, Dr. Michael Fogarty, Univ. Maryland), including full budgetary control (400K per year), and supervision of extensive field activities involving NOAA Research Vessels. One major achievement was the establishment of a quality-controlled historic data set on the food habits of NW Atlantic fishes that is linked to the NMFS bottom trawl survey data. This achievement has enabled extensive research into the NW Atlantic food web by NMFS staff and their collaborators. Received a full grade promotion August 1996.

Research Planning Committee for the James J. Howard Marine Sciences Laboratory.1995-1996. Served as a member of a panel of scientist charged with development of a long-term research plan for the James J. Howard Marine Sciences Laboratory.

Visiting Instructor, Marine Animal Ecology, Department of Biological Sciences, Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, New Brunswick, New Jersey. February-June 1992.

Doctoral Candidate, Ecology and Evolution, Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, New Brunswick, New Jersey. February 1986-May 1992. Dr. Kenneth W. Able, Major Advisor. Drs. Peter J. Morin, C. Levett Smith, and Timothy E. Targett Research Committee members. My research focused on the importance of salt marsh creeks as nursery habitat for fishes and decapods in New Jersey. As part of this work I've described faunal composition, abundance, seasonality, diel patterns, and patterns of growth of marsh creek fauna (see publications list). My interests also focused on the importance of seasonal migrations to energy export from the marsh, and on how creek morphology and tidal dynamics influenced community structure. This was the first study to focus on salt marsh tidal creek habitat in the northeastern United States, and it provided compelling evidence of the critical function of marsh creeks as nursery habitats in the Northeast. It also revealed the importance of conducting both day and night sampling in the estuary in order to adequately describe habitat use as a nursery. Additionally, this study infers a great importance of diel and tidal migrations to habitat use in the estuary. Another important outcome of this research was the identification of the, hitherto unknown, critical nursery habitat for summer flounder. Photographs of weir sampling gear and methodology can be viewed HERE.

Graduate Research Assistant, under Dr. Kenneth W. Able, Center for Coastal and Environmental Studies, Rutgers University. February 1987- 1991. Conducted research on estuarine habitat utilization by fishes.

Masters Candidate, Marine Biology, College of Charleston, Charleston, South Carolina. August1983-December 1987. Dr. George R. Sedberry, Major Advisor. Drs. Charles K. Biernbaum, Harry W. Freeman and Mr. Mel Bell, Research Committee Members. My research examined how fishes use structure by using fish aggregation devices (FADs) I designed to test the hypothesis that the abundance of pelagic fish attracted to the structure was not related to structure size or complexity. This study is significant because it was the first rigorously designed field experiment with treatment replications to address the question (due to the logistical difficulty of carrying out this type of work in the open ocean), and was the first to demonstrate a significant effect of structure size/complexity on pelagic fish abundance (see publications list). I also made observations that suggested that FADs might enhance demersal productivity in some cases, rather than simply aggregating fishes. My recent research on modeling schooling behavior with Dr. Sedberry is rooted in observations made during this study. Sample underwater photographs of FADs.

Contributing Scientist, NOAA National Undersea Research Program. 1987.
