document.write("A fisheries biologist, Jason Vasques has been fortunate to work all over the world. Starting his career in freshwater research, he worked on the high mountain lakes of the Sierra Nevada's in California. From there, he moved to New Zealand where his Masters research focused on ecological interactions in Fjordland triplefin fishes. Returning home to California, Jason worked for the California Department of Fish & Game as the Tuolomne River biologist in charge of salmon restoration. Desire to experience warmer waters led him to a position with the territorial government of the US Virgin Islands where his focus was the design and monitoring of Marine Protected Areas, lobster population assessments and seafloor mapping. After sailing, bonefishing and sampling the local rum, Jason returned to California to work for CDFG on the Marine Protected Areas project. However, he maintains his ties to Caribbean research and continues to work for effective fisheries management in the region.<p>");
