Jen Repp

Jen specializes in spatial analytics and modeling the distribution of marine debris. Jen graduated in 2020 with a Bachelor of Science in Marine Sciences with a Geospatial Science minor from Stony Brook University. She is finishing her Master’s in Marine Studies with a concentration in Oceanography from the University of Delaware. At UD, she studies the distribution of derelict crab pots in Delaware’s Inland Bays. For this project, she conducted side-scan sonar surveys, derelict crab pot removals, and assessed the impact of derelict crab pots on the recreational blue crab fishery.
