RESEARCH ACTIVITIES As Director of the Center for Marine and Environmental Studies I have focused the department on applied fisheries and habitat conservation research. This has lead to considerable grant funding to examine the importance of marine protected areas in rebuilding fish stocks, the biology and habitat use of grouper and snapper spawning aggregations, the effects of fish nursery habitats on fisheries productivity and the impact of human activities on fisheries habitats. Grant funding has been received from NOAA, NMFS, NIH, NSF, and Sea Grant. PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITIES Scientific advisor to the St. Thomas/St. John Fisheries Advisory Committee and the Caribbean Fisheries Management Council. Member of the Association of Marine Laboratories of the Caribbean, American Fisheries Society, Ecological Society of America, Society for the Conservation of Reef Fish Aggregations, Divers Alert Network.
