James was an integral part of the Highly Migratory Species (HMS) program. In addition to day-to-day work, James planned and organized the research cruises for HMS at the SWFSC and was involved in tagging thresher, blue, and mako sharks in the Southern California Bight for many years. We are sad to see him go but are excited for his future opportunities and thankful for his many contributions to the program over the last 10 years.
