Angie Mungia

NOAA-EPP LMRCSC Master’s Graduate
M.S., Fisheries Science
Oregon State University

Angie Munguia pursued her M.S. degree in Fisheries at Oregon State University. She worked with OSU’s Jessica Miller, Ph.D. and NOAA scientist Laurie Weitkamp, Ph.D., on juvenile Chinook salmon use of the Columbia River estuary.  Her research interests lie in estuarine ecology, food web dynamics, and salmonid habitat restoration. She received an undergraduate degree in Evolution, Ecology, and Biodiversity from UC Davis.

Angie successfully defended her thesis research, and her MS degree in Fisheries at Oregon State University, was awarded Fall 2019. Her current research interests lie in estuarine ecology, food web dynamics, and salmonid habitat restoration. She secured employment with Oregon Health Sciences University in 2019 working in the Columbia River Estuary.
