Top School

Jade Maggs is a fisheries scientist and technical officer with over a decade of experience leading data-driven fisheries research and management programs across New Zealand and South Africa. With a PhD in Ichthyology and Fisheries Science, she has run national boat-ramp creel surveys, developed PostgreSQL-backed data systems, and implemented electronic data acquisition to streamline workflows. She has managed multidisciplinary teams, delivered fisheries stock assessment and R programming training at postgraduate level, and contributed to ecosystem-based management and MPA advisory groups. Comfortable in R, QGIS, Linux and GitLab, Jade blends field expertise—from aquaria and diver work to large-scale surveys—with strong modelling skills (GLMs, CPUE standardisation, harvest estimation). An uncommon strength is her track record of translating messy field data into robust, auditable databases and reproducible analysis pipelines that directly inform policy and stakeholder engagement.
