Although his historical area of expertise is global warm water aquaculture, he currently is involved in primarily Mississippi River-driven issues such as coastal restoration, wild fisheries (finfish and shellfish), and freshwater reintroductions into the surrounding marshes. He sees his chief focus in developing underutilized opportunities of the unique situation provided by the dynamic conditions of the lower Mississippi River.
