Michael Gagner Email & Phone Number

Mr. Gagner is an aquatic scientist with over 30 years of experience specializes in planning, designing, implementing, and managing aquatic ecology projects, habitat assessments, and instream flow studies. He is experienced in fish ecology (anadromous and resident species), habitat assessments and suitability criteria development, endangered species evaluations, and assessments of flow regulation on aquatic habitat throughout the Pacific Northwest and Alaska. Mike has collected field data, completed analysis, and reporting for projects related to river and stream channel morphology and hydraulics, aquatic ecology, instream flow needs, microhabitat use and preference, fish passage assessment, water quality sampling, and long-term ecological monitoring. He has managed and directed site-specific assessments of impacts on fish habitat, fish populations, and instream flow needs related to FERC licensing and relicensing projects and water rights adjudications in Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada, Idaho, Montana, Alaska, and New Mexico. He has directed and participated in the collection of field data related river and stream channel morphology and hydraulics, water quality, fish habitat use and timing, fish passage analysis, and long-term monitoring. Mr. Gagner has experience with the use of several fisheries, riparian, and instream flow assessment methodologies including: Instream Flow Incremental Methodology (IFIM), Physical Habitat Simulation Modeling (PHABSIM), Washington Department of Natural Resources watershed analysis, Timber Fish and Wildlife fish habitat unit surveys, USFS Region 6 Level II Stream Survey Protocol, USFS Region 10 Watershed Sensitivity Analysis, and the USFS Federal Guide for Watershed Analysis.

Listed skills include Microsoft Office, Research, Environmental Awareness, Microsoft Excel, and 6 others.
