NEFSC Advanced Sampling Technologies Research Staff The NEFSC Advanced Sampling Technologies Research team currently consists of one full-time Research Fishery Biologists (Michael Jech) who conducts the fisheries acoustic operations and research, one Research Fishery Biologist (William Overholtz) who devotes about half of his time to incorporating the acoustic estimates into fisheries assessments, and one computer programmer (Robert Gamble) who designs cutting edge acoustic visualization software. In February 2005, the Research team hired one Electronics Engineer (Joseph Godlewski) to assist in developing and maintaining advanced sampling technologies for NEFSC. In February 2007, the team lost the services of the founding member of the Advanced Sampling Technologies Research Group, Mr. William Michaels. Bill decided to hang up his foul weather gear and has moved on to bigger and better things at headquarters. His expertise and vast knowledge of acoustic survey operations and underwater video procedures will be greatly missed. His ability to pull in money for large projects will definitely be missed. Good Luck Bill!
