Jim specializes in beach and estuarine assessment, mapping, and restoration design. He started CGS in 1993 and has performed coastal assessments and developed beach nourishment, soft shore protection, integrated site management approaches, and other designs from initial concept through to final construction drawings in all Puget Sound and Straits counties. Jim also monitors beach projects, and runs educational programs throughout the region to facilitate community understanding of coastal processes and interactions of coastal modifications and nearshore habitats. |

| Andrea has an interdisciplinary background, having studied both coastal geomorphology and coastal ecology. She has been working for CGS since 2003 and in the Puget Sound since 1999. Andrea specializes in nearshore geomorphic and habitat assessments, net shore-drift mapping, applied coastal management, restoration and conservation planning and prioritization, and (historic) shore change analysis (in GIS). | |

| Jonathan performs coastal mapping at CGS using both ArcGIS and AutoCAD. He is the monitoring and survey manager, and has surveyed beaches throughout Puget Sound. Jonathan manages integrated mapping efforts using a wide variety of data sources from the mid 1800s to the present. Jonathan also participates in bulkhead removal feasibility assessments, beach nourishment, soft shore protection, dredge design, and development of beach monitoring plans. | |

| Stephanie’s background is in geology and ecology, and prior to CGS, she worked with state and local governments, and non-profit organizations. At CGS Stephanie performs field surveys and data analysis. Stephanie’s skill set is a valuable contribution to shoreline restoration assessments, beach monitoring surveys, feeder bluff mapping, and various GIS applications. | |

| Alexis has been working in coastal engineering design since 2001 and specializes in numerical modeling, coastal construction, computer-aided design, and dredging projects. She has overseas experience in project management and GIS analysis as well as work experience with the federal government (US Army Corps of Engineers), academic research in coastal engineering and disaster resilience, and private consulting firms (RETEC/AECOM). With CGS, Alexis applies her skills to shoreline restoration and enhancement. | |
