Questions on Great Lakes Fisheries? Call UW Sea Grant!
By John Karl
MADISON, Wis. (5/11/99) — People with questions or needs related to Great Lakes fisheries can now call upon a new resource. The University of Wisconsin Sea Grant Institute announced today that Philip B. Moy has begun work as the institute’s new Fisheries Specialist.
Moy is based at UW-Manitowoc. His first order of business is to determine the concerns and needs of commercial, sport, and charter groups who fish on Lake Michigan or Lake Superior. He will then provide these groups, industry, agency personnel, and the public with instruction, applied research, practical demonstration, field-testing, and consultation on fisheries problems, non-indigenous species, and other Great Lakes fisheries issues.
"Moy is a great people person," said Allen Miller, UW Sea Grant’s Assistant Director for Advisory Services. "He’ll put together programs that will serve Wisconsin’s diverse fishing interests. If Sea Grant can provide some assistance, people should let him know."
Moy can be reached by phone at (920) 683-4697 or by email at pmoy@uwc.edu.
Before UW Sea Grant, Moy worked at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in Chicago as a fisheries biologist for seven years. With the Corps, he assessed the impacts of proposed projects on aquatic populations and their habitat in Illinois and Indiana, and he served as project manager of the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal Aquatic Nuisance Species Dispersal Barrier demonstration project. He also worked on projects for flood protection, dredging, Remedial Action Plans, and aquatic habitat enhancement.
Moy earned a doctorate in Zoology from Southern Illinois University at Carbondale in 1991. He then worked as an Associate Research Biologist with the Illinois Natural History Survey for three years.
