Senior🎓
Top SchoolWendel Raymond is a nearshore ecology research scientist with nine years of experience studying eelgrass, kelp, community structure, food webs, apex predators, and biochemical biomarkers across Pacific coastal ecosystems. Currently with the Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife after a research appointment at the University of Washington, he combines rigorous fieldwork—SCUBA surveys, intertidal sampling, and lab-based fatty acid and gonad analyses—with statistical synthesis to inform coastal management. His PhD in Fisheries from the University of Alaska Fairbanks and long history of NSF-funded projects reflect deep expertise in how primary production and detrital pathways shape consumer energetics. Based in Port Angeles, he also directs an all-volunteer ski patrol, a role that highlights leadership, operational coordination, and risk management outside academia. Colleagues describe him as a scientist who pairs hands-on natural history skills with quantitative analysis to tackle applied conservation questions.
