🌿 Celebrating Ron Brockmeyer, Environmental Scientist V in the Bureau of Environmental Sciences, on three decades of dedication to wetland restoration and environmental stewardship!

✨ Since joining the District in 1994, Ron has been a driving force behind numerous wetland restoration projects, managing over 40 contracts and work orders. His efforts have resulted in the
reconnection, breaching, or complete restoration of more than 22,000 acres of impounded and impacted estuarine wetlands.
✨ Beyond project management, Ron has been instrumental in securing outside restoration funding, successfully applying for and receiving 11 grants worth over $6 million, including three grants this year alone.
✨ Ron’s impact isn't confined to the field—he's also a author, having published numerous scientific papers and reports that contribute to our collective understanding of wetland ecosystems.
✨ Ron was awarded the 2012 Environmental Law Institute’s National Wetlands Award and the 2022 Marine Resources Council Conservation Award, highlighting his exemplary service and leadership in the environmental community.

Thank you, Ron, for your enduring commitment to protecting our natural resources. 🌊🌱 #EnvironmentalExcellence #WetlandRestoration #30YearsOfService ... See MoreSee Less
