Fisheries From Hawaii to Scotland with Dr. Jessie Kittel

This week, Alanna talks to Dr. Jessie Kittel, a research scientist at the Blue World Research Institute, about her path in fisheries from Oregon to Hawaii to Scotland to New England. Jessie's research using modeling techniques has varied from humpback whales to yellowtail flounder. Alanna and Jessie discuss the integration of her ecosystem based fisheries model into yellowtail flounder stock assessment, and her new role studying species in the Gulf of Maine. She is also a 100-ton captain!

 

Main point: "Be a nice person, and have faith in yourself"
