Top SchoolMichael Cecil is an experienced biologist with 12 years working across the Puget Sound lowlands and Salish Sea bioregion, specializing in marine and terrestrial ecology, wetland delineation, and habitat assessments. He combines a BS in Environmental Science with a Graduate Certificate in Environmental Data Science and Statistics and ongoing Wetland Science & Management training from the University of Washington, blending field expertise with quantitative skills. At Leon Environmental he has led critical areas assessments and USACE-method wetland delineations for diverse clients and complex sites, while earlier roles honed his team leadership and operational problem-solving. Trained by the Washington Department of Ecology and as a WSDOT Biological Assessment Author, he is fluent in regulatory frameworks, SEPA navigation, and forage fish survey methods.
