Dan joined NOAA Fisheries in 2016 after postdocs with the University of Maine and Cornell University (both at USGS Coop Units). At the regional office in Gloucester, he worked on fisheries monitoring and bycatch estimation, contributing support to the development of Amendment 23 and electronic monitoring programs in the Northeast multispecies fishery.
