Emmeline Moore (April 29, 1872–September 12, 1963)[1][2] was an American biologist known for her various articles on fish diseases, as well as pioneering work in conservation and combating water pollution.
Moore supervised and edited fourteen watershed reports conducted in New York between 1926 and 1939[3]: 311 and these were the most comprehensive scientific surveys of any states' water resources.
[5] From 1914 to 1919, Moore taught biology at Vassar College, eventually rising to the level of assistant professor.
She studied rivers, lake pollution, and fish diseases while working with New York Conservation Department for the next 24 years.
Through the surveys voucher specimens were collected, and a generation of biologists were trained in fisheries science and management.
