About Amy

Amy Siuda is a Professor of Marine Science at Eckerd College, recognized as a marine ecologist and biological oceanographer. Her research interests span marine plankton ecology from organismal to population and community levels, where plankton form the foundations of marine food webs. She investigates complex interactions among plankton as well as between plankton and the physical/chemical environment. To study these patterns and processes, her research team employs experimental approaches such as controlled bottle experiments, observational methods like net tow sampling, and molecular techniques for data collection. Current projects include the distribution and diversity of Sargassum and its associated community, and plankton-microplastic interactions. Additionally, she is passionate about decreasing the accumulation of plastic marine debris. Through the Reduce Single-Use Project, she raises awareness of the plastic marine debris problem and encourages reduction of single-use plastic consumption on campus, in St. Petersburg, and across Florida. Siuda earned her Ph.D. in Biological Oceanography from the University of Connecticut in 2007 and her B.A. from Middlebury College in 1997.
