After graduation, Ware joined the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO), Marine Ecology Laboratory as a Research Scientist and worked in the areas of fisheries oceanography, population dynamics, bioenergetics, and early life history theory. In 1981, he transferred to the Herring Section at the DFO Pacific Biological Station (PBS) in Nanaimo, British Columbia. His research activities at PBS focused on herring population dynamics, assessment of climate change impacts on exploited fish populations, and ecosystem modeling. Ware also coordinated a long-term multidisciplinary research project with Rick Thomson off the West Coast of Vancouver Island. The purpose of this project was to measure ocean climate variability and change, and to evaluate the impacts of these changes on ecosystem productivity and pelagic fish populations in the region. Ware has published over 80 scientific papers in peer-reviewed journals and in various scientific report series. After 30 years service, he retired from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans in 2000 and now works as a fisheries consultant in Nanaimo, BC.
