EXPERIENCE

Dr. Phillips has extensive experience in ecosystem analysis, field operation, and experimental

design. He has performed studies on freshwater submergent vegetation and plankton throughout

the United States and seagrass investigations around the world. He has designed and

implemented sampling plans for assessing and mitigating eelgrass damage. He has performed

freshwater delineations in Washington State. He has performed a shoreline monitoring and

planting project of freshwater vegetation for the Walla Walla Corps of Engineers District along

the Snake River from Clarkston, Washington, to the Tri Cities. He has assisted in the preparation

of Environmental Impact Statements for the U.S. Department of Energy. He was Project Manager

of a Tradeoff Analysis for Wetlands Mitigation Banking for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

He has taught at several universities, including the Katholieke Universiteit in The Netherlands,

Seattle Pacific University, the University of Texas, and the University of Oregon. Dr. Phillips

publications began in 1956 and continue today.

Dr. Phillips has 36 years experience as an educator and consultant in the fields of ecology,

botany, and marine science. He is recognized as an authority on the systematics, ecology,

and transplantation of seagrasses, algae, and wetlands.

Dr. Phillips has traveled to and has personal experience with seagrasses in 33 countries. He has

investigated seagrass distribution, habitat characterization, ecology, phenology, and

transplantation in many parts of the world. He conducted a seagrass transplantation project on

dredged materials, and designed and performed field work involving transplantation in a large

experimental field project that extended from the Aleutian Islands, down the west coast of North

America, throughout the Gulf of Mexico, along the east coast of North America, and throughout

the Caribbean. He has transplanted and studied seagrasses in several places in the Philippines, in

Japan, in China, in Australia, and in the Arabian Gulf. He has studied seagrasses in the United

Kingdom, in The Netherlands, and along the entire Mediterranean coast and along the Brittany

coast of France. Finally, he has studied the seagrasses in the Black Sea of the Ukraine and studied

and transplanted seagrasses in the White Sea area of Russia.

Dr. Phillips served on a committee with the Washington State Department of Ecology to develop

criteria to assess injury and damage to a wide variety of marine organisms due to oil spills in the

marine waters of Washington State. Dr. Phillips designed and implemented sampling plans for

eelgrass mitigation and damage assessment at Alki Point and South and North Beach, West

Point, and at Fidalgo Bay, Washington. He surveyed an eelgrass transplant site in Bellingham

Bay, Washington. He served on eelgrass transplant projects for the John Wayne Marina, Port

Angeles, Washington, Ship Harbor Marina at Anacortes, Washington, and at Coos Bay, Oregon.

He investigated the possible impacts on eelgrass in Prince William Sound, Alaska, following an

oil spill. He served on the Eelgrass Working Group for the Washington State Department of

Natural Resources from 1986 to 1987. He also participated in the Seattle Aquarium, Create a

Habitat Project . eelgrass transplant project.

Teaching Experience

Dr. Phillips taught vascular plant taxonomy (which included western and eastern

Washington, alpine meadows, and estuarine and fresh-water habitats), at Seattle

Pacific University from 1964 until 1990. He was a Visiting Professor at the Katholieke

Universiteit in The Netherlands in 1983. He has also taught general biology,

general botany, general ecology, marine botany (including systematics of marine algae,

seagrasses, marsh plants, mangroves, and ecosystem processes), microbiology,

cell biology and ecological field methods.

Biological Evaluations/Assessments

Dr. Phillips characterized plant habitat and conducted a risk assessment for a proposed

small hydroelectric project and transmission line. He evaluated the marine environment

for a pulp mill wastewater lagoon. He reviewed data and literature for the

Coatzacoalcos-Minatitlan Environmental Rehabilitation Plan in Mexico and an

Environmental Impact Statement regarding marine resources in Discovery Bay,

Washington. He surveyed existing conditions at a wet pond in Gig Harbor, Washington,

and served as project scientist on a wetland delineation project in Bothell, Washington.

He conducted a rare plant survey for a proposed state highway extension in Medford,

Oregon. He reviewed the literature and assessed damage onsite from an oil spill in

Upper Galveston Bay, Texas.

Dr. Phillips surveyed and mapped emergent and submergent plants in two lakes on

Blakely Island, Washington, and conducted a taxonomic and quantitative study of the

phytoplankton there. He also led a surfgrass mitigation project near Santa Barbara,

California.

Dr. Phillips has presented papers at a number of conferences and symposia, including

the Seventh and Ninth Annual Conferences on the Restoration of Coastal Vegetation in

Florida (1980, 1982), the PASGAP Seaweed Symposium (1980), the Society of Wetland

Scientists Regional Meetings (1992, 1994), two meetings of the International Congress

of Ecology (1974, the Hague, The Netherlands; 1976, Jerusalem, Israel), and the

International Botanical Congress (1980, Sydney, Australia), and at the

Northwest Scientific Affiliation annual meeting (1994). He participated in the

Coastal Ecosystems Workshop at Oregon State University and a workshop on the

restoration of habitats impacted by oil spills at Virginia Polytechnic Institute in

1981. He participated in a seagrass workshop at the Harbor Branch Foundation in Ft.

Pierce, Florida, in 1982. Dr. Phillips presented three papers at the International

Seagrass Biology Workship held at Rottnest Island, Australia, in 1996, and gave

a keynote address at the International Seagrass Biology Workshop held at the

University of the Philippines in 1998.

He has lectured at universities and to lay groups all over the world, including Japan,

Australia, Philippines, Taiwan, China, and the U.S.S.R. He was a member of the Padilla

Bay Sanctuary Research Advisory Committee in Anacortes, Washington, since 1984. He

was chairperson of the symposium on Tropical-Subtropical Seagrasses of the

Southeastern United States in Gainesville, Florida, in 1985, and the keynote speaker at

the Second Annual California Eelgrass Symposium in Chula Vista, California, in 1988.

Dr. Phillips presented a paper at the 1995 Annual Meeting of the Puget Sound Water

Quality Authority meeting.

Dr. Phillips worked on a variety of projects with the Pacific Northwest National

Laboratory National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Compliance Staff from 1991-

1998. He was the Point-of-Contact for Battelle and the U.S. Department of Energy

(DOE) on all NEPA matters, and was the Project Manager for the NEPA-funded project

from the U.S. DOE. He has coordinated and facilitated interactions with Battelle Project

Managers and Line Management and the DOE-Richland Operations Office personnel on

numerous activities requiring NEPA documentation. He worked on two Environmental

Impact Assessments and served on a review board for two to three others. He has

reviewed and commented on several Environmental Assessments. He has guided the

preparation and prepared numerous Categorical Exclusion documents. His primary

function was to ensure that the work performed at Battelle which required NEPA

documentation was performed in a timely fashion and with the proper documentation.

Dr. Phillips was enrolled in several 2-day Executive Enterprises, Inc., training classes,

e.g, NEPA Documentation: EAs and EISs, Environmental Laws and Regulations, and

Hot EA/EIS Topics. He was enrolled in the 40-hour OSHA CERCLA-training course.

He had five management training courses while at Battelle.

Since January 2001, Dr. Phillips has been developing a State of Florida Seagrass

Conservation Plan. This work entails coordinating historical and present seagrass work in

Florida, as well as developing a management plan and policy for the conservation of

seagrasses throughout the State of Florida.
