Raymond Grizzle

Raymond Grizzle is a Research Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of New Hampshire's College of Life Sciences and Agriculture. His research focuses on oyster reef restoration, aquaculture, and seafloor mapping using techniques like towed underwater video and sonar. He has contributed to studies on marine protected areas, aquaculture impacts, and fouling community succession on aquaculture structures.

Education:

• Ph.D. in Biology/Biological Sciences, Rutgers University
• Ph.D. in Ecology, Rutgers University
• M.S. in Biology, University of Central Florida
• B.S. in Biology, Florida State University

Research Interests: Dr. Grizzle's work emphasizes ecosystem services provided by marine organisms, particularly oysters, and the application of remote sensing for habitat assessment. His studies integrate field experiments and modeling to understand benthic community dynamics and human impacts on coastal ecosystems.

Grants & Projects: He has led over 80 grants since 1999, including projects funded by the Nature Conservancy, NOAA, and the EPA. Recent initiatives include oyster reef restoration in New Hampshire and Florida, and monitoring marine habitats affected by aquaculture.
