Stock Assessment Team

Maryland Sea Grant solicited nominations for members to serve on the Stock Assessment Quantitative Ecosystem Team from managers, academics, and stakeholders in the Chesapeake Bay region.  Following is a list of confirmed members of the Stock Assessment Quantitative Ecosystem Team which includes the chair listed above; in addition the team will be supported by a Quantitative Support Staff (QSS), a Ph-D level student whose dissertation topic directly relates to the QET area of expertise.  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 Stock Assessment 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 Stock Assessment.
