In Memoriam

Eileen Setzler-Hamilton, who distinguished herself for nearly 30 years as a researcher, educator, mentor and scientific liaison to numerous Chesapeake Bay commissions and task forces, died of cancer on March 12, 2003, at Solomons, Maryland. A scientist at the Chesapeake Biological Laboratory (CBL), part of the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science (UMCES), she was passionately devoted to science - her special interests were fish ecology, estuarine ecology and management of Chesapeake Bay living resources. From 1987-1990, she also served as the Environmental Analyst for the Environmental Matters Committee of the state of Maryland House of Delegates.

In addition to research, Dr. Setzler-Hamilton was extensively engaged in teaching - she gave lectures, taught field-oriented laboratories to students from middle school through college, served as Chief Scientist on many research cruises and mentored individual students and teachers as well. She will be greatly missed by her colleagues and by the many students whose lives she touched.

CBL has set up the Dr. Eileen Setzler-Hamilton Memorial Fund in her honor. Tax-exempt contributions will be used to develop a teacher/student outreach program named for her. Send contributions, payable to The University of Maryland Foundation, Inc. to the Chesapeake Biological Laboratory, P.O. Box 38, Solomons, Maryland 20688.
