Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRyan Stanley is a research scientist and adjunct professor based in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, who leads the Marine Conservation Research Group at Fisheries and Oceans Canada with a decade of experience designing and monitoring Marine Protected Areas and networks. His work blends population connectivity, habitat science, genomics, and climate change impacts to inform practical MPA management and monitoring strategies. He co-chairs the ICES Working Group on MPAs and Other Spatial Conservation Measures, translating interdisciplinary science into international policy guidance. Ryan pairs field-centered expertise—multiple field seasons of larval sampling and bespoke dispersal modeling—with advanced data skills in R and Matlab to produce reproducible analyses and monitoring templates. He holds a PhD in Marine Biology and serves as adjunct faculty at several Canadian universities, mentoring students and integrating genomic tools into conservation planning. A less obvious strength is his history of producing long-form, decision-focused reports and analytic pipelines that directly support fisheries assessments and regional MPA indicator programs.
