Andrew Muir

Andrew Muir serves as an Adjunct Assistant Professor in the Department of Fisheries and Wildlife within the College of Agriculture & Natural Resources and concurrently holds the position of Science Director at the Great Lakes Fishery Commission, where he leads binational scientific initiatives for sustainable fisheries management across the Laurentian Great Lakes ecosystem.

His research expertise spans critical domains of freshwater science:

• Fisheries Management: Ecosystem-based approaches and policy development
• Wildlife Conservation: Native species protection in freshwater habitats
• Aquatic Ecology: Trophic dynamics in large lake systems
• Conservation Biology: Biodiversity restoration strategies
• Invasive Species Control: Sea lamprey mitigation and prevention
• Population Dynamics: Stock assessment modeling

As Science Director, Dr. Muir directs an international scientific team coordinating research on lake trout rehabilitation, habitat restoration, and climate change impacts across the U.S.-Canada border. His work integrates field studies with policy frameworks to address transboundary fisheries challenges, though no specific graduate student mentorship or grant details are publicly documented in the source material.
