Foodweb Team

Maryland Sea Grant solicited nominations for members to serve on the Foodweb Quantitative Ecosystem Team from managers, academics, and stakeholders in the Chesapeake Bay region.  The team is now complete and in addition to the Chair, team members and their affiliations are listed below.  Each of our Quantitative Ecosystem Teams will also be supported by a Quantitative Support Staff (QSS) position, a PhD-level student whose dissertation topic relates to the focus of the QET. The Team will hold its first meeting in April and begin to analyze a series of key ecosystem issue briefs pertinent to Striped Bass produced by the Striped Bass Species Team. As the Blue Crab and Menhaden Species Teams complete their ecosystem issue briefs these will also be evaluated by the Quantitative Ecosystem Teams. The goal for the Foodweb Team is to produce a set of reference points required to address the ecosystem issues brought forth by each of the Species Teams pertaining to Foodwebs.
