   personal_statement: 'Research Interests:My current research focusses on three
     aspects of Puget Sound restoration evaluation: (1) juvenile salmon and forage
     fish use of eelgrass and other delta tide flat and nearshore habitats, (2) response
     of soft-sediment intertidal benthic macroinvertebrates to Nisqually River delta
     dike removal and restored tidal inundation, and (3) response of shallow sub-tidal
     benthic microalgae, invertebrates, and fish to increased sediment delivery following
     removal of the Elwha River dams. Another area of research is assessing impacts
     of hatchery supplementation on wild salmon and steelhead.'
