Jackson, James R.
Senior Research Associate
My work is in the broad area of applied fisheries. My research addresses areas applicable to the management and conservation of fisheries resources and aquatic ecosystems and is conducted in close collaboration with the New York DEC. My position also serves as a primary liason between my Department and NYDEC.
