Grant McKown is a coastal habitat research associate under Dr. David Burdick and Dr. Ray Grizzle at the Jackson Estuarine Laboratory of the University of New Hampshire. His research focuses on implementing and monitoring novel
restoration methods of salt marshes, seagrass meadows, and oyster reefs in the Seacoast of New Hampshire and broader New England. He received his masters in Marine Biology in 2021 from UNH focusing on monitoring short-term recovery of salt marsh living shorelines and long- term vegetation shifts of a restored freshwater wetland in New Hampshire. He recently returned to Jackson Lab after spending a field season survey backcountry wetlands throughout Colorado for the Bureau of Land Management. In his spare time in the summer, he conducts rare plant surveys in freshwater wetlands, beach dunes, and salt marshes for the Native Plant Trust.
