About
Ryan Lowndes is an Associate Research Scientist with the Ecology, Mapping, and Assessment of Marine Populations (EcoMAP) Department at the Anderson Cabot Center. His work primarily focuses on a long-term acoustic telemetry study began by Dr. Jeff Kneebone, helping to assess the influence of offshore wind farm construction and operation on the movement ecology of highly migratory fishes such as bluefin tuna, blue sharks, shortfin makos, and white marlin in southern New England. Additionally, Ryan leads a project exploring the effects of offshore wind development on black sea bass and tautog using acoustic telemetry.
Prior to coming to the EcoMAP team, Ryan completed his master’s in coastal marine and wetland studies at Coastal Carolina University, where he tested experimental electromagnetic hooks in an effort to reduce bycatch of sharks in commercial and recreational fisheries.
