Welcome, Bailey Robertory!

Born and raised in Fairfax, VA, Bailey grew up swimming and boating in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. He obtained a B.S in Marine Science from the University of South Carolina. After graduating from USC, Bailey moved to Lubbock, Texas where he conducted a master’s thesis study on the effects of aquatic invasive species on native fish populations in New Mexico. He graduated from Texas Tech with a M.S in Wildlife, Aquatic, and Wildlands Science and Management. After graduating, he moved back east and spent the last year with the Chesapeake Research Consortium staffing the Chesapeake Bay Program’s Sustainable Fisheries Goal Implementation Team. In his free time, Bailey enjoys swimming, hiking, playing ice hockey, and spending as much time outside as possible. He is excited to join UMCES IAN as a Waterways and Bays Restoration Coordinator based out of the MD DNR office.
