Conservation Scientist Resume Example

I held community based position on the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska. I was the face of EPA working with the community, including Alaska Native Villages, to develop locally implemented environmental protection. I convened work-groups of experts and citizens to develop strategies. URLs of web sites showing tangible results can be provided on request. My work at EPA was to protect the ecological integrity of the marine and fresh waters of Alaska by implementing programs of the United States' Clean Water Act. In addition to my work at the community level I predicted effects of projects such as large mines, highways, port development and housing. I was the Grant Team Coordinator for Wetlands Program Development Grants as well as a manager of several million dollars in individual grants. I was the Regional Mining Coordinator for my group, the Aquatic Resources Unit of Region 10. I was USEPA's representative on the Alaska Transportation Environmental Streamlining Group, as well as mine restoration groups in Alaska.

I led in-stream flow studies on California's Stanislaus and Tuolumne Rivers, and was a team member on faunal surveys and other studies. The purpose of the flow studies was to determine the quantity of water needed to support remnant populations of salmon below large dams. I was the Sacramento office's designated representative on the initial San Juaquin River restoration. I managed field crews of up to ten biologists.

I served as crew on salmon tenders on the waters of Alaska from Prince William Sound to Bristol Bay, including skipper of a 65ft salmon tending power scow on Cook Inlet. I fished king crab in the Bering Sea for one season. I also fished tuna for a season off the coast of California.
