majored in integrative biology with an emphasis in marine ecology. He
earned a Master’s of Science degree in Regenerative Studies at Cal Poly
Pomona, which aims to find innovative solutions and gives experiential
learning related to sustainable development and ecological restoration
and design. His master’s thesis analyzed Santa Monica Baykeeper’s Kelp
Restoration and Monitoring Project. Brian began volunteering for
Baykeeper in 2005 and joined the staff in 2007 as Kelp Program

recover in multiple locations off the Malibu and Palos Verdes coasts.
An ongoing goal is to ensure local SCUBA divers have the opportunity to
perform hands-on work making a positive difference for natural
communities and marine resources as a whole. As Marine Programs Manager
since 2008, Brian is also involved in outreach and advocacy for
improved oil spill prevention and response, science-based marine
protected areas, sustainable fisheries, abalone recovery, and eelgrass
