Dr. Robert Hueter

Senior Scientist Emeritus

Emeritus Senior Scientists

Today's Research for Tomorrow's Oceans

Biography:

Dr. Robert (Bob) Hueter is a Mote Senior Scientist Emeritus and was the first Director of Mote’s Center for Shark Research and the first recipient of Mote’s Perry W. Gilbert Chair in Shark Research. The Mote CSR is a national research center established by the U.S. Congress in 1991, to conduct research and outreach on diverse aspects of shark biology ranging from biomedical applications for human health to shark ecology, fisheries and conservation. Dr. Hueter has been a professional marine biologist for more than 40 years, has published more than 200 scientific articles and reports on sharks, and has edited six volumes on shark biology. His research has included field and laboratory studies of shark abundance, behavior, sensory biology, ecology and fisheries in the Western North Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea, including in Mexico and Cuba. He has studied hundreds of shark species including blacktip, bull, great hammerhead, whale, mako and white sharks, and has worked on every continent except Antarctica to study sharks. In 2004, Dr. Hueter was selected by Florida Trend magazine as one of Florida’s most influential people, in 2007 he was recognized with a Lifetime Achievement Award in Conservation by Sarasota County, Florida, and in 2008 he was awarded the Eugenie Clark Scientific Explorers Award. He currently holds the position of Chief Scientist for the nonprofit research and education organization OCEARCH, where he is leading studies of the white shark in the North Atlantic.

Dr. Hueter earned his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from the University of Miami and his Ph.D. from the University of Florida. He is Past-President of the American Elasmobranch Society and served a number of terms on the AES Board of Directors. For 25 years Dr. Hueter was an academic member of NOAA’s Highly Migratory Species Advisory Panel and he has testified three times before the U.S. Congress on issues relating to shark fisheries management and conservation. In addition to his research activities, Dr. Hueter has led educational efforts to promote better public understanding of sharks as a marine resource, through numerous interviews in national publications and hundreds of television and radio appearances. He has been a leader in science-based conservation of sharks since 1988, and today is an internationally recognized proponent of sustainable shark fishing practices in commercial and recreational fisheries. Much of his current work involves marine science policy as a diplomatic bridge between nations and cultures for the betterment of shared environments and human populations.
