Summary
Jamie Yin is a biological sciences and environmental manager with nine years of hands-on experience translating aquatic science into policy and regulatory action for California’s waterbodies, with a focus on the San Francisco Bay and the Sacramento–San Joaquin Delta. Currently at the US Army Corps of Engineers, Jamie combines field expertise—from Antarctic zooplankton sorting to bear population studies—with quantitative lab work and stakeholder-driven monitoring leadership (notably managing the Delta Regional Monitoring Program at SFEI). Their graduate research examined phytoplankton carbon and nitrogen uptake under varying light, giving them uncommon depth in lower-food-web responses to water-quality and treatment changes. Jamie’s background spans science communication, database-building for global elasmobranch trends, and collaborative work with Indigenous partners, reflecting an ability to bridge research, management, and community perspectives.
