Rob’s experience includes various types of terrestrial and aquatic ecological studies/surveys, including watershed management plans, lake diagnostic-feasibility studies, lake restoration/management programs, nuisance aquatic species control programs, wetland delineations, seagrass surveys, shellfish surveys, acid soils surveys, and seagrass and wetland mitigation/restoration. Professional Experience Nellie Bennett Marsh Restoration Plan, Point Pleasant, Ocean County, NJ - Project Manager currently responsible for ecological and engineering services for the completion of site assessments, resource surveys, stakeholder outreach coordination, and preliminary design for the stabilization of 2,600 feet of eroding shoreline and the restoration of 20 acres of tidal salt marsh in upper Barnegat Bay. Matrix is working with the Barnegat Bay Partnership and their project stakeholders to develop a comprehensive living shoreline and saltmarsh restoration design plan for Nellie Bennett Marsh, which is currently undergoing subsidence and edge erosion. Our design focuses on developing a phased approach for the protection of the entire marsh complex that can be implemented in phases as funding allows and that is adaptable as effects of climate change and sea level rise are realized over time. Our professionals conducted a comprehensive evaluation of existing site conditions and utilized historical data to understand the causality of the rapid loss to the surface area of the marsh complex. We analyzed best methods

ted a comprehensive evaluation of existing site conditions and utilized historical data to understand the causality of the rapid loss to the surface area of the marsh complex. We analyzed best methods for re-establishing marsh edges to the maximum allowable regulatory footprint and protecting the complex from future any future loss. EDUCATION B.S. Environmental Studies, Stockton University, 1993 PROFESSIONAL REGISTRATIONS NAUI Open Water 1-SCUBA Diving Certification PROFESSIONAL CERTIFICATIONS AND TRAINING Georgian Court University – Master of Biology Program Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey – Cook College - Methodology of Delineating Wetlands - Plant Identification for Wetland Delineation - Hydric Soils - Coastal Project Review New Jersey Marine Science Consortium - Marine Fossils Newark Bay Wetlands Restoration, City of Newark, NJ – Practice Lead responsible for the implementation of a coastal wetland restoration project funded by a grant made to the City of Newark by the Department of Interior National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) through the Hurricane Sandy Coastal Resiliency Competitive Grant Program. The project entails the restoration and protection of a 12-acre wetlands complex located along Newark Bay. The site, which was historically separated from Newark Bay by an 800-foot revetment wall, is one of only a few remaining natural areas remaining in this highly-industrialized portion of Newark Bay. Although some healthy tidal wetlands remain, most of the site has become highly degraded by invasive species and severe shoreline erosion. This project will restore, enhance, and protect the wetland complex through the implementation of multiple resilient and sustainable measures. These include a living shoreline, saltmarsh restoration, and invasive species eradication. The project will ultimately buffer the wetland complex from continued erosion from the tidal action of Newark Bay, improve flood control for the adjoining upland areas in the City of Newark, and restore the natural habitat. Shark River Park Stream Restoration, NJ – Responsible for the preparation and submission of grant applications to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection to request funding under the State 319(h) Grant Program to restore a severely eroding section of an unnamed stream situated within Shark River Park.
