For more than 25 years Clint has contributed to ESSA’s work in the Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences with an emphasis on the development of sophisticated decision-support tools that integrate diverse data sources to create durable, intuitive visualization methods that help resolve ecosystem trade-offs. Transitioning from Director of Operations to President as part of ESSA’s succession planning, Clint has recently (November 1 2016) taken over leadership of ESSA from David Marmorek (transitioning to Lead Scientist & Sr. Partner). Clint's experience includes leading over $2.5M in projects in California (Sacramento River and San Francisco Delta Ecological Flows Tool), the Colorado River Basin, and the Okanagan Basin. One of these tools, the Okanagan Fish/Water Management Tool, has received both a BC Premier’s Award for excellence in innovation, as well as the Murray A. Newman Award for Significant Achievement in Aquatic Conservation from the Vancouver Public Aquarium. The Adaptive Management mindset is also at the forefront of a new project awarded to ESSA to develop an integrated fisheries restoration and monitoring plan for the Klamath River system – what could be the largest dam removal and fisheries restoration project in United States history. Clint is also a seasoned facilitator working with experts and stakeholders to integrate specialized knowledge amongst disciplines. In his role as a facilitator, Clint has designed creative processes sensitive to the distinctive nature of highly technical resource management problems and guided clients to contribute their ideas and resolve barriers. Clint enjoys collaborating with others, building strategic alliances, untangling problems and clearly communicating trade-offs.
