Brad Agius Brad went to study marine biology at the University of New Hampshire, graduating in 1998. His first research position was with Dr. David Burdick as a Salt Marsh Restoration Ecology Technician. He then dived deeper into the estuary, working for Drs. Frederick Short and Ryan Davis as a Diving Research Assistant. The main focus of the study was the restoration ecology of eelgrass beds in the Piscataqua River, New Hampshire. He also became the Diving Research Supervisor for Dr. Ted Grosholz's studies of the invasion of non-indigenous tunicates and algae to the Gulf of Maine. Brad continued to work for Dr. Grosholz at the University of California, Davis. There he helped with the ongoing examination into the recent invasion of the Green Crab to the Pacific coast, from Canada to Mexico. Then he went to Discovery Bay, Jamaica to serve as the Diving Safety Officer for the 1999 winter term of Northeastern University's East/West Marine Biology Program. Brad is currently a Faculty Research Assistant for Dr. Kenneth Sebens at the University of Maryland, College Park. There, he is the project manager for Dr. Sebens' long-term research site in Nahant, Massachusetts- a 20 year time series analysis of the rocky subtidal community (one of the oldest underwater study sites in the world). He also is conducting research with coral reef community ecology and coral physiology / feeding. Brad's future plans include graduate work in the field of marine conservation biology. |
