Megan Isadore, Co-Founder and Executive Director of the River Otter Ecology Project, will speak about river otters in our local watersheds.

About the Speaker — Megan Isadore: I’m all about conservation based on science, community, and public education. I graduated from the College of William & Mary with a degree in English, never suspecting I would spend my career in one kind of science or another. I began as a medical writer, then produced continuing medical education programs and publications in medical risk management. After moving to Marin in 1998, I turned my attention to watershed ecology while working with the critically endangered coho salmon of Lagunitas Creek. The intensity and beauty of salmonid lives led me to an abiding interest in watershed ecology. After beginning to delve into the webs of inter-relations that make up our beloved watershed ecosystem, river otters swam into my view in Lagunitas Creek. River otters as the flagship species for conservation are a natural fit. Their charm, playfulness, and their remarkable ability to touch hearts are among the many attributes that make them ideal ambassadors for watershed conservation and wetland restoration.
