systems. Much of my past research has focused on interactions between herbivores and algae in marine systems. This has included studies of geographical gradients of herbivorous fish diversity and how temperature effects on physiology may play a role in driving this pattern and the effects of fisheries and disease on sea urchins and kelp forest ecology. My current research projects include studies of the community ecology of rocky shores of Puget Sound, disease ecology of sea urchins, and larval

This is an ongoing project to restore the natural processes of nearshore habitat that will extend all the way into the Chambers- Clover Creek Watershed (“Puget Sound Nearshore”). Not to mention that the protection of salmon is a key feature of many tribal treaties (“Saving our struggling salmon”). The city of Tacoma has also “Passed a

nature. These values include sacred spaces in nature, the community connection with the environment, scripture examples in the bible, and the impact national parks can have on Christian individuals. These values can then be applied to the geology of the Grand Canyon national park through analyzing the park’s important geological factors and the current impacts of the park due to human usage. Using the nature values from Christianity can then develop a mindset for all people despite religious
