Chase Wunder graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Marine Biology from the University of Delaware in 2021, and is currently the Margaret A. Davidson Graduate Fellow at the Jacques Cousteau National Estuarine Research Reserve while pursuing a Master’s in Ecology and Evolution at Rutgers University. Chase’s primary research interests involve the processes that influence the movement ecology and migration patterns of ecologically and commercially important fishes that seasonally inhabit coastal estuaries. Through electronic tagging methods he is tagging and tracking summer flounder in New Jersey estuaries and the ocean to examine life history variation and its relation to environmental cues. This research is highly collaborative and involves local recreational and commercial fisherman, regional biologists, and partnering institutions.
