Brian Kelder

Restoration Ecologist - Noaa Restoration Center @Noaa Fisheries

My work is focused on restoring river, wetland and estuarine habitat to benefit migratory and marine fish species and the river and coastal ecosystems they inhabit. I provide technical support and manage financial assistance awards to support partnership-driven restoration initiatives that benefit these important natural resources while improving community resilience to storms and sea-level rise. These efforts include removing outdated dams, replacing undersized culverts and restoring tidal wetlands.
