Professor Chet Rakocinski
Professor
Bio
Presently, I am a Professor in the Division of Coastal Sciences of the USM School of Ocean Science and Engineering. I am housed at the USM Gulf Coast Research Laboratory, where I have been a PI or Co-PI on various research projects dealing with aquatic and marine ecology of invertebrates and fishes.
