About
Charles H. Greene is a pioneering marine scientist whose research sits at the intersection of fisheries acoustics, autonomous ocean technology, and resource management. Greene has made significant contributions to modernizing how scientists monitor commercial fish stocks, particularly within the United States' vast Exclusive Economic Zone — the largest in the world, supporting a multi-billion dollar fishing industry. His most influential work, "A Wave Glider Approach to Fisheries Acoustics" (2014, 48 citations), champions the deployment of autonomous surface vehicles to revolutionize fisheries surveys, addressing longstanding limitations in spatial coverage and survey frequency that have historically undermined fisheries management decisions. Building on this vision, his earlier collaboration on long-term autonomous fisheries surveys using active acoustics (2012) helped lay the conceptual and practical groundwork for cost-effective, continuous ocean monitoring at a time when rising ship costs and shrinking budgets threatened the viability of traditional methods. Greene's work represents a forward-thinking shift in ocean science — leveraging emerging robotic platforms to deliver richer, more reliable data to fisheries managers and policymakers tasked with sustaining one of the nation's most vital natural resources.
