Biography
Steve Miranda - Unit Leader, Mississippi Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit
Steve is Unit Leader and Professor at Mississippi State. He is a fish ecologist with 40 years of experience and has been with the Coop Units since 1986. Prior to 1986 he was a research intern with Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife and research biologist with Texas Parks and Wildlife. His long-standing research interests include lentic aquatic ecosystems, natural resource conservation and management, fish population and community dynamics, and aquatic habitat management. He teaches Fisheries Science and Management of Impounded River Basins and has directed over 60 MS and PhD students. Steve's most current research has been published in journals such as Aquatic Sciences, Climatic Research, Fish and Fisheries, Freshwater Biology, Journal of Environmental Management, Reviews in Fish Biology and Fisheries, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society, and Water Resources Research. In 2017 he published a book entitled Reservoir Fish Habitat Management. He has held several editorial appointments, including Co-editor of the North American Journal of Fisheries Management and currently Chief Editor of Frontiers in Freshwater Sciences.

| North American Lake Management Society - member | Miranda | January 2012 | Present |
| National Fish Habitat Action Plan - Reservoir Partnership - Member and Lead Reviewer. I have served for the last two years as part of a group that sought to establish a reservoir partnership under the auspices of the NFHAP. In this position I served as lead scientific adviser and generated and reviewed material necessary to prepare an application. The reservoir group was accepted into the partnership in Nov 2009. I continue involvement in the group although my current task is not well defined. | Miranda | June 2007 | May 2012 |
