Jeff Plumlee is a broadly trained marine ecologist that focuses on marine fisheries and the management of our living marine resources. He did his undergraduate and graduate studies at Texas A&M University in Galveston, TX working primarily on feeding ecology, focusing his studies on reef fishes and elasmobranchs (sharks and rays). He then completed his doctoral studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where he broadly examined questions regarding the role that habitat plays to the secondary production of estuarine fish and invertebrates. Before he arrived at LSU, he did a one year postdoctoral fellowship at the University of South Alabama and Dauphin Island Sea Lab working broadly with long-term fishery-independent data on questions regarding the correlation between fishery recruitment and a changing climate.
