   intro_statements:
   - Barry Baldigo has been a Research Biologist with the U.S. Geological Survey
     since 1990. He leads numerous collaborative studies that aim to improve our
     understanding of the health of aquatic ecosystems, impacts of environmental
     contaminants and hydrologic modification, important interrelations, and management
     options that help mitigate ecological disturbance and sustain valuable natural
     resources.
