Dylan Comb

Dylan comes to GMGI with a background in marine ecology, conservation and restoration science, applied to monitoring coastal ecosystem function and health. Having grown up locally on Cape Ann, Dylan has an affinity for all things shellfish. After completing a B.A. in environmental studies at the University of Vermont, he spent a few years ski-bumming and traveling before returning home to complete a M.S. in marine biology from Northeastern University. During his graduate research, Dylan focused on shellfish restoration in southern New England, assessing recruitment and comparing growth conditions of eastern oysters to better inform restoration science. Prior to joining GMGI, Dylan helped start an aquaculture farm, has worked as a NOAA fisheries observer, bicycle mechanic, snow maker, schooner deckhand, sailboat delivery captain and has volunteered in several marine science labs. Outside of work you can find him surfing, skiing, mountain biking or gardening.
