Allen Curry

Fellow, CRI

Allen Curry has been the Director of the Canadian Rivers Institute since 2003 until 2013.  He holds the Cloverleaf/NBDNR Professorship in Recreational Fisheries and is Assistant Director of the NB Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit. His research interests and publications span a diversity of freshwater, estuary, and coral reef sciences including the ecology of fishes, food webs and ecosystems, and rivers and their landscapes.  Underlying his science is the philosophy that understanding physical and biological processes is critical, but societal issues may need answers from science today.
