Fisheries Management Staff Publications

The Fisheries Management Section of the North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries is responsible for conducting fishery science, including monitoring of biological and harvest information of finfish and shellfish in the State coastal waters and innovative gear research. Collaborative research alongside statewide biological and environmental monitoring programs are key to fisheries management informing stock assessments, fishery management plans, and conservation of the environment and protected species.

Staff within the Fisheries Management Section possess diverse academic and professional backgrounds that uniquely suit the section in developing science-based management recommendations for the marine resources of North Carolina.

  • At minimum, most staff possess some level of post high school education and/or industry work experience.
  • 62% of staff have earned post baccalaureate degrees including Master of Science and Doctoral degrees in biology, marine science, or natural resource management.
  • Average job experience is close to 10 years, with some staff possessing over 25 years of experience at the Division or other related agencies.

Research and monitoring is an important part of the state fishery management process. Division staff participation in collaborative and applied research furthers our understanding of the animals and environment of the state as well as human impacts. Below is a comprehensive list of peer reviewed, scientific publications, graduate theses, and dissertations that Fishery Management Section staff have authored. Direct links to the publication are included when available.
