Dr. Lynne Stokes, a professor in the department of statistical science, and a team of Ph.D. students are currently working on a marine science project called, The Great Red Snapper Count. The two-year project is a $10 million effort by a multi-disciplinary team of 21 researchers that will provide a fisheries independent estimate of the abundance of red snapper in the Gulf of Mexico. The SMU team provides statistical support for the project, which will require integrating a variety of data collection and estimation strategies across the Gulf.
