Haley Oleynik, Master's Student

Haley received a B.A. in Biology and Sociology from Colby College. She then worked for two years as a North Pacific Groundfish Observer for the National Marine Fisheries Service collecting biological data of commercial catch aboard Pollock and Rockfish vessels in Alaska’s Aleutian Islands.

She is interested in fisheries ecology, particularly commercially- and recreationally-significant fish species, and how it can inform management. While pursuing her Master's at UD she is working to answer questions about fish community assemblage and how it has changed over time in Delaware Bay.
