Cassandra Brooks is a marine scientist and science writer based in California. She began studying Antarctic marine resources when she was a graduate student at Moss Landing Marine Laboratories (MLML) in Moss Landing, California. Cassandra's graduate work focused on life history and population structure of Antarctic toothfish. Her research provided information on their age, growth, and spatial distribution, which she hopes will facilitate sustainable management of this important Antarctic species. Cassandra also participates in krill and finfish cruises off the South Shetland Islands and the Antarctic Peninsula for the United States Antarctic Marine Living Resources Program (AMLR).
