Contact Information Challenger 143 School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences Stony Brook Universiy Stony Brook, NY 11794 Email: anna.r.webb@gmail.com About Me I am a Master's student at the School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences at Stony Brook University (SBU) located on the north shore of Long Island, NY. I received my B. S. degree in Marine Vertebrate Biology also from SBU in 2007. From 2007 to 2008, I worked on a large scale hard clam restoration project in Great South Bay, NY run jointly by the Functional Ecology Research and Training Lab of the Department of Ecology and Evolution here at SBU and The Nature Conservancy. Working on this project enhanced my interest in ecosystem based management and taught me how to rapidly shuck clams! I also love to travel, and spent a semester in the Caribbean during a 9-week SEAmester program aboard a traditional schooner and a winter session course in Jamaica. I also traveled to Thailand and Australia for a few weeks in 2008 and Ireland in 2009. |  Research Interests I am interested in fisheries ecology and ecosystem-based management.
For my Master's project, I am co-advised by Drs. Ellen Pikitch and Mike Frisk,
and am completing a regional comparison of assessed and unassessed
species. I am also conducting an assessment of potential fishery
interactions with these species in the Northeast region.
Additionally, I have an interest in mechanisms of larval dispersal
and/or retention, particularly in broadcast spawners. Publications and Presentations A. R. Webb, M. G. Frisk, E. K. Pikitch.
