Andrew came to the BBP in August of 2023 after spending the previous eight years as the Manager of Estuary Science for a fellow National Estuary Program in Delaware. His experience with living resources and estuarine habitats includes work with forage fish population modeling, horseshoe crab movements, oyster reef restoration, seagrass mapping and restoration, and salt marsh trajectories under increased sea level rise. He also led the creation of a continuous water quality monitoring network focused on uncovering dissolved oxygen impairments in upper tributaries.

Andrew received his B.S. from East Stroudsburg University, his M.S. from Salisbury University, and has published papers on forage fish populations, horseshoe crab movements, and bat assemblages. His interests include the restoration of estuarine habitats, in particular seagrasses and shellfish beds, the ecological importance of forage fish, and the economic and ecological impacts of estuarine water quality issues.
