EXH 362: CV John A. Strand PhD FAIFR Fisheries Biologist

This document is the curriculum vitae of Dr. John A. Strand, a fisheries biologist with 30 years of experience studying the effects of human activities on aquatic resources. His work spans Washington, California, Alaska, and other regions, covering environmental impact assessments, aquatic toxicology, and regulatory compliance related to contaminants such as oil, heavy metals, and radionuclides. While not directly related to airport noise policy, his expertise in endangered species protection and habitat mitigation may have been relevant to environmental review processes in the Seattle-area region.
