Abstract: Science-based fisheries conservation and management rely on key data inputs and robust quantitative evidence. However, growing uncertainties from human factors, data limitations, and ecosystem complexities present significant challenges. In this talk, I will discuss how I integrate stock assessment, Management Strategy Evaluation, quantitative modeling, simulations, and policy synthesis to address these challenges by tackling pressing regional and global topics, including: 1) fisheries management and assessment amid offshore wind development in the Mid-Atlantic, 2) conservation designation and evaluation though a socio-ecological lens, 3) data-limited stock assessment to minimize overfishing risk, and 4) Ecosystem-based Fisheries Management for complex multispecies, multi-gear fisheries. By combining interdisciplinary research approaches with a comprehensive science-to-management workflow, including data collection, quantitative assessment, and management implementation, my work provides an integrated framework for advancing fisheries conservation and sustainable resource management in a changing marine environment.
