Background
Aimee joined the Northwest Fisheries Science Center in July 2002 and is currently involved with recovery planning for Pacific salmonids. She previously worked on aquatic nongame and endangered wildlife issues with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (1998 to 2002), with special focus on crayfishes. She received her M.S. in Aquatic Ecology from the University of Notre Dame (1998), and her B.S. in Biology from the Ohio State University (1994). Her research at Notre Dame focused on interactions between a nonindigenous fish and the invaded ecosystem. Her research at Ohio State investigated factors controlling overwinter survival of largemouth bass.
Current Research
Recovery Plans are required for any species listed under the Endangered Species Act, including the endangered/threatened Evolutionarily Significant Units (ESU) of 6 salmonid species in the Pacific Northwest. Aimee works on the integration of research (largely involving freshwater habitat) conducted by the Watershed Program with recovery planning conducted for each ESU by NMFS-appointed Technical Recovery Teams, watershed groups, and others.
