Page, Fred (Co-investigator)

Dr. Page is research scientist and responsibility center manager for the Ocean Sciences group at the St. Andrews Biological Station. He is an adjunct professor at the University of New Brunswick and member of the Biological Station’s management committee and the management team of the Ocean Sciences Division within the Maritimes Region of Fisheries and Oceans. His educational training is as a marine biologist and biological-physical oceanographer. His expertise is focused on the application of oceanography to fisheries and aquaculture issues but also includes a growing involvement in the application of oceanography to issues of harmful algae blooms. He is co-project leader of the Maritimes Region Ocean Science Program on Coastal Habitat Studies and Aquaculture. He is a core member of the Fisheries and Oceans Atlantic Zone Fisheries Oceanography Committee and a member of the International Commission for the Exploration of the Seas working group on coastal zone management. His research regularly includes involvement with international colleagues, particularly in the United States. He is a recognized authority on the oceanography of southwest New Brunswick portion of the Bay of Fundy, the geographic area focused on in the proposed work, and its implications to aquaculture and fisheries. He has good working relationships with and is regularly consulted by influential members of the aquaculture industry, the provincial department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Aquaculture, the provincial department of Environment and Local Government, as well as with the Federal habitat management staff within DFO and members of Environment Canada. Of particular relevance to this proposal is that he is a technical advisor to the Exclusion Zone Committee. This committee is jointly chaired by Fisheries and Oceans Canada and the New Brunswick Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Aquaculture and was formed to address the interactions of concern that exist between the fisheries and aquaculture industries in the southwestern New Brunswick area. He has lead the development of a Geographic Plume Analyses (GPA) approach to issues within the SWNB area and is actively engaged in applying the approach to issues within the area. His involvement in the project will be to continue development of the GPA approach, facilitate the application of the teams efforts to issues within the region, engage his research support team in the program, co-supervise a post-doctoral fellow with Dr’s Stephenson and Lane and to participate in the guidance of the graduate students.
