« Please Note: Dale Bishop is no longer active on the GCE-LTER Project so contact information may not be accurate (see the GCE Personnel page for an up-to-date list of participants) »

Research Emphasis:

My current research interests center on estuarine invertebrates and fishes, with particular emphasis on marsh invertebrate population dynamics and their trophic-dynamic roles. In addition, the cataloging of the biodiversity of southeastern barrier islands and estuaries has been a career spanning interest.
