Research Interests:

Mary Yoklavich is a supervisory research biologist and leader of the Habitat Ecology Team in the Fisheries Ecology Division of SWFSC. She has conducted research from California to Alaska for more than twenty-five years, and is well known for her research on habitat assessments of West Coast rockfishes. She has been named NOAA Fisheries Employee of the Year and has received three NOAA Bronze Medal Awards for her innovative research to characterize deepwater habitats off California; for her efforts as part of the Fisheries Oceanography Coordinated Investigations in the Gulf of Alaska; and for protecting US West Coast essential groundfish habitats. She has produced over sixty scientific publications, and is a co-author of "The Rockfishes of the Northeast Pacific". Mary received the NMFS award for Best Publication in 2007, is a Distinguished Fellow in Science and Technology at California State University Monterey Bay, and received the Science/Research Award from the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary. Mary and her team are part of a growing cooperative of researchers from British Columbia to southern California, who conduct coastwide visual surveys of groundfish species and their habitats in deep water. Her current research includes baseline surveys using Delta submersible to monitor fishes and habitats associated with newly established Marine Protected Areas off central California. Mary has served on the Science Advisory Team of California’s Marine Life Protection Act Initiative, and currently serves on the Pacific Fisheries Management Council’s newly formed Essential Fish Habitat Review Committee.
