Hello, I am Max Calloway, a field biologist and marine ecologist with over 10 years of experience both on land and in the water. I began my career teaching outdoor education to teens before working with the U.S. Forest Service and Parks Service as a field technician. I estimated board feet of lumber, banded songbirds, hooted for owls, counted sea stars, and hunted for high alpine amphibians before I fell in love with kelp. I am a recognized expert on kelp biology and ecology in Washington state and helped to spearhead the development of the Puget Sound Kelp Conservation and Recovery Plan, standardize long-term monitoring protocols for the Washington Department of Natural Resources, and build and manage several kelp hatcheries. I am excited to have joined the Pacific Lamprey Conservation Initiative in 2023 and work with a passionate group of diverse stakeholders advancing the conservation and recovery of a species with less celebrity than other anadromous fish in the Pacific Northwest. In my free time I am a drummer, avid surfer, and a huge Dungeons and Dragons nerd.
