Marc is a Registered Professional Biologist and Systems Ecologist at ESSA with over 20 years experience in fisheries and wildlife sciences. He is particularly skilled in the use of geographic information systems (GIS) for integrating biological and physical information. Marc has a Bachelors degree in Wildlife Biology and a Master's in Zoology, both from the University of Guelph. His projects at ESSA involve both analysis and technical facilitation, and recent work includes monitoring, evaluation and restoration plans for salmon, steelhead and bull trout in the Columbia Basin; development of a comprehensive adaptive management framework to evaluate the effects of restored river flows in California's Trinity River on listed fish, birds, amphibians and reptiles; evaluating the effects of watershed restoration projects on salmon production; scoping the feasibility of restoring anadromous salmon to the Canadian reaches of the Upper Columbia River; and development of GIS-based models for describing and predicting occurrences of fish species in BC watersheds. He is also currently assisting in the development of a provincial-scale habitat monitoring program for designated Fisheries Sensitive Watersheds in BC. Before joining ESSA, Marc's work experience included analyses of large scale inventory datasets of both fish populations and their habitat, and he was involved in a suite of field-based fisheries and wildlife research focused on the effects of BC logging practices. Additionally, Marc has undertaken fish and wildlife inventories throughout BC, Ontario, Alberta and the Yukon.
