    284 - The Scenic Route to Fisheries Biology with T. David Ritter

    This week Kadie chats with T. David (Dave) Ritter, a fisheries biologist, artist, and one of the members of the California White Shark Project. Throughout this episode we chat about Dave's career path, including his Master's research on fish movement in a remote tributary of the Smith River in Montana, how he and his wife (a non-game biologist for Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks) have approached finding biology jobs in the same vicinity as each other, why everyone should become recreational river snorkelers, and more!   The California White Shark Project (CWSP), is run by Dr. Paul Kanive (featured in Episode 212); Scot Anderson, the founding father of white shark monitoring in the Northern Pacific Ocean; Maxine Meckfessel, their super talented outreach coordinator who does anything and everything to keep the CWSP going, their two captains: Ron Elliot and Pat Conroy, and of course Dave Ritter.

    281 - Predicting global fisheries conflicts with Dr. Keiko Nomura

    This week, Elise (IG: @elisemobranchii) chats with Dr. Keiko Nomura, a current post doc in the Environmental Data Science Innovation and Inclusion Lab at CU Boulder! Broadly, her research has focused on studying fisheries social-ecological systems with network analyses and geospatial tools to inform marine resource management questions. In this interview, we touch on Keiko's experience in marine citizen science, her data-driven PhD research on global conflict and how it relates to fisheries management, "Worldly Foods" (Elise's new favorite game), and more!   Main point: Stay curious and remember we're in this together!   Get in touch with us!The Fisheries Podcast is on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram: @FisheriesPod Become a Patron of the show: https://www.patreon.com/FisheriesPodcastBuy podcast shirts, hoodies, stickers, and more: https://teespring.com/stores/the-fisheries-podcast-fan-shopThanks as always to Andrew Gialanella for the fantastic intro/outro music.

    280 - Diving into Simulation Models with Dr. Mairin Deith

    This week Kadie chats with Dr. Mairin Deith primarily about the ins and outs of simulation models and their applications to ecological questions, but we also cover her career path, current work, and more!    Mairin is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of British Columbia, Canada, working with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to assess the impacts of dam operations and hatchery practices on wild salmon in the Pacific Northwest. Originally trained as an ecologist, Mairin’s PhD research leveraged satellite-derived data, simulation models, and decision analysis to inform the sustainability of wild meat harvest systems in Southeast Asia. More recently, Mairin focuses on statistical analysis and developing models and software to help inform decision making—this includes models to assess hatchery stocking practices, invasive species removal programs, and downstream dam passage of wild juvenile salmonids. When not working, Mairin enjoys tide-pool walking, hiking, biking, gardening, and overindulging in science fiction.   Main point: It's not shameful to not know something   If you'd like to get in touch with Mairin, you can email her at: m.deith@oceans.ubc.ca   Get in touch with us!
