Dana Haggarty, PhD., MSc.
Current research and/or projects
I study the Ecology, Conservation and Population Biology of nearshore fishes such as rockfishes and Lingcod. My PhD. work focused on the recovery of rockfish populations in Rockfish Conservation Areas (RCAs). My current projects focus on modeling rockfish habitat, the recovery of Yelloweye Rockfish populations, rockfish barotrauma, and Lingcod stock assessment. I collaborate with international partners, industry, academics, ENGOs and First Nations on longline and Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) surveys to monitor and assess fish populations and their habitats.
