 SUMMARY:

After graduate training in oceanography, I served as a Peace Corps Volunteer fisheries biologist in Africa, then began a 25-year career with the US National Park Service as a marine biologist and park planner. International assignments during this period and later included work with FAO, WWF and USAID and a return to Peace Corps (staff). As a consultant and volunteer, international and local projects continue.
