Dr. Garry Stenson recently retired from the Fisheries and Oceans, Newfoundland and Labrador Region, where he was a senior scientist. He carried out research on the ecology of marine mammals, particularly ice breeding seals, in the North Atlantic and adjacent Arctic waters for over thirty-five years.
He has authored or coauthored over 200 scientific papers, addressing questions about the abundance and status of marine mammal populations, how they use their habitat, factors influencing vital rates, and the impact of climate change on marine mammals, particularly seals.
Garry really enjoys meeting new people and passing along his knowledge about the marine environment. He lives in St. John’s and is an Adjunct Professor of Biology at Memorial University of Newfoundland.
