face="Times New Roman, Times">Tom Stokely is a member of the Board of
Directors of the California Water Impact Network working on reducing CVP and
SWP Sacramento/San Joaquin Delta exports and improving water quality through
retirement of selenium-drainage problem lands in the Western San Joaquin
Valley. He recently retired after 23 years as a natural resources
planner for Trinity County working on developing, adopting and implementing
Bruce Babbitt's Trinity River Record of Decision. He has implemented
numerous watershed and fish passage restoration projects. He serves on
the California Advisory Committee on Salmon and Steelhead Trout advising the
California Legislature's Joint Committee on Fisheries and Aquaculture, as well
as the California Coastal Salmon Recovery Peer Review Advisory Committee
advising the Department of Fish and Game. He recently moved to Mt.
Shasta to have continual access to winter snow surveys and other local
attractions.<BR></FONT> <BR><BR><FONT

<BR></FONT><FONT face="Times New Roman, Times">Clayton began working on stream
restoration projects in 1981 and on urban streams in 1991. Since then he has
worked on, designed, constructed and managed hundreds of stream restoration
projects throughout the urban area of Vancouver, BC, and elsewhere in the
Pacific Northwest. He is a principal instructor on the multi-semester
program in stream restoration at Portland<BR></FONT><FONT

face="Times New Roman, Times">Stephanie Carlson is a new Assistant Professor
in the Department of Environmental Science, Policy, and Management at U.C.
Berkeley. Her research focuses on the ecology and evolution of wild fish
populations, particularly those subject to human influence. Current projects
include evaluating the evolutionary consequences of habitat degradation on
Pacific salmon, harvest-induced evolution in wild fish populations, and the
importance of population diversity to long-term sustainability of salmon
populations. Stephanie plans to teach courses in Fish Ecology and Aquatic
Ecology.<BR></FONT> <BR><BR><FONT

face="Times New Roman, Times">Emmanuel da Costa (Manny) is an environmental
consulting specialist with the Alameda County Public Works Agency.
Manny has worked for Public Works for the past 10 years developing watershed
plans, fisheries assessments, and creek restoration projects throughout
unincorporated Alameda County. His most notable project to date is the
development of a fish ladder over the infamous "BART Weir" in Alameda
Cr. He holds a Master's degree in Aquatic Toxicology from Oregon State
University.</FONT><FONT face=Verdana> <BR></FONT><BR><FONT

ecological risk assessment of pollutants in aquatic habitats, with a focus on
the San Joaquin River watershed. Current projects include: preparing the Delta
Mendota Canal Recirculation Feasibility Study; evaluating the role of water
quality in the pelagic organism decline (POD) in the Sacramento-San Joaquin
Delta; assessing various treatment and management options for selenium-laden
agricultural discharges; and studying the feasibility of using recycled water
for streamflow augmentation.<BR></FONT> <BR><BR><FONT

has been involved in over 300 infrastructure and water resources projects in
the State of California. In riverine hydraulics, Dr. Liang's experience
includes flood control, floodplain management, storm water management, wetland
restoration, sediment transport, bridge hydraulics and scour analysis, and
roadway drainage. In coastal and estuarine engineering, his principal
areas of interest are wave hydrodynamics, coastal sediment processes, and
coastal salt marsh restoration with a strong emphasis on numerical modeling.
He obtained his masters and doctoral degrees from the University of
California, Berkeley. For his doctoral dissertation, he analyzed wave
processes using time series analysis. </FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
