other land uses on stream habitat and fish populations in western Oregon. I am 

 principal author or coauthor of numerous journal articles, syrriposium contributions, 

 and reports on this subject. 



My current research ranges in scope from subcontinental-scale analyses of fish 

 population distribution and trends in relation to land use activities, to detailed studies 

 of fishes and their habitats in specific rivers. Between 1 985 and 1 992 I coordinated 

 a research project investigating the role of human activities, primarily logging, road 

 construction, and grazing on private and federal lands, in the deterioration of stream 

 habitat and the decline of native salmon and trout populations in three regions of 

 Oregon. This research was funded by the state of Oregon and the U.S. Fish and 

 Wildlife Service Federal Aid for Sport Fish Restoration Program. In a related project, 

 funded by the National Park Service, i developed a classification system helpful to 

 assess the effects of grazing and other land uses on streams and riparian habitat in the 

 Great Basin. 



In 1991 I completed a year-long analysis of the effects of proposed 

 management plans for the west-side federal lands of California, Oregon, and 

 Washington, on water quality, fish, and aquatic biodiversity. That project and an 

 ongoing study of the role of federal lands in sustaining salmon and other anadromous 

 fish resources in the Pacific Northwest and California were supported by funds from 

 The Wilderness Society. During the past year my studies have concentrated on the 

 development of scientifically sound strategies for the restoration of riverine habitat, 

 focusing on the role of public land watersheds in recovery of Pacific salmon and other 

 declining aquatic biota. This work has been conducted with support by Oregon State 

 University and the Pacific Rivers Council, with funding from several private 

 foundations. 



I am an active member of several scientific and professional organizations, 

 including the American Fisheries Society, Ecological Society of America, Society for 

 Conservation Biology, and North American Benthological Society. The professional 

 societies have long been concerned with the apparent lack of integration and public 

 disclosure of key scientific and technical information in the planning process for 

 national forest. Bureau of Land Management (BLM), and other public lands. Since the 

 mid-1 980's I have reviewed forest plans and timber sale plans in the western states, 

 and have helped prepare numerous detailed analyses, critiques, and appeal documents 

 for the Oregon Chapter of the American Fisheries Society's effort to monitor public 

 lands. 



I have also been involved in efforts by the American Fisheries Society to 

 develop proactive approaches to conservation of biological diversity and fishery 

 resources on federal lands. For example, I have been a key member of the Oregon 

 Chapter's Subcommittee for Biodiversity and Critical Areas, which has prepared a 

 scientific protocol, and a state- wide inventory, with supporting maps and data base.
