Join us virtually to hear Dr. Adrian Jordaan present on climate change and its impact on river herring! You won’t want to miss this.

Dr. Adrian Jordaan is the Director of the Gloucester Marine Station and an Associate Professor of Fish Population Ecology and Conservation in the Department of Ecological Conservation at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. He joined the University of Massachusetts Amherst in September 2012 and his research employs quantitative modeling and statistical approaches to understand ecological patterns and life processes in marine, near-shore and freshwater systems. He is particularly interested in developing effective regulatory, restoration, and social options for cross boundary ecosystem-based management. His current research foci include the role of river herring in marine, estuarine and freshwater ecosystems and how they connect these ecosystems, and the influence of restoration and climate on their populations. A critical part of his work is the engagement of fisheries practitioners and other stakeholders and managers towards finding the “sweet spots” where science can advance sustainability and enhance access to resources.
