Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBill Henry, PhD is the founding director of Groundswell Coastal Ecology and a marine vertebrate ecologist with a decade of experience rebuilding resilient, multifunctional coastlines through science, restoration, and community engagement. He combines academic rigor from UC Santa Cruz and roles with USGS and UCSC with hands-on project leadership to integrate biodiversity, geospatial analysis, and plant ecology into urban and coastal restoration. Bill focuses on translating ecological research into practical, community-centered stewardship and environmental education programs that make degraded shorelines productive for both nature and people. His work bridges ecological theory and social marketing to create scalable models for tomorrow’s coasts, from pilot restoration sites to broader policy and outreach. Based in California, he is as comfortable publishing and lecturing as he is coordinating volunteer-driven restoration efforts, demonstrating a rare mix of research depth and on-the-ground implementation. An often-overlooked strength is his ability to craft multifunctional designs that deliver ecological benefits while enhancing community use and resilience.
