Lionel Walford (May 29, 1905 - April 9, 1979) was a marine biologist and director of the Sandy Hook Marine Laboratory from 1960 to 1971. He advised several international fishery commissions and authored "Game Fishes of the Pacific Coast from Alaska to the Equator," "Living Resources of the Sea", and "Angler's Guide to the United States Atlantic Coast" (with Bruce L. Freeman).
Walford was a participant in the 1963
Conservation Foundation conference "Implications of rising carbon dioxide content of the atmosphere" and contributed to the subsequent ground-breaking report edited by
Neil Eichhorn. He also founded the
American Littoral Society to help communicate science to the public.
