About Douglas I have been a professional science writer since 1984 and an advocate for restoring the health of freshwater and marine ecosystems, primarily in New England, since I was a young kid. Since 1991 I have helped create large-scale ecosystem restoration projects involving major dam removal on the Kennebec, Penobscot, Sebasticook and Presumpscot Rivers in Maine and wrote the 2005 scientific petition which secured U.S. Endangered Species Act protection for the remaining wild Atlantic salmon in the United States. I now work as a professional scientific and regulatory consultant for Friends of Sebago Lake, Friends of Merrymeeting Bay, Friends of the Kennebec Salmon and recently for the Penobscot Indian Nation, the Natural Resources Council of Maine and the Atlantic Salmon Federation. My work focusses on the ecological history of the Atlantic seaboard with a specialty on diadromous fish species including Atlantic salmon, American eel, American shad, alewife, striped bass, Atlantic and shortnosed sturgeon and the sea lamprey. In 2002 I created the "Atlantic Salmon History Project," an on-line archive of rare historical documents going back to 1600 which document the abundance, and extirpation of migratory fish in the marine, coastal and inland waters of New England.
