Dewberry, a privately held professional services firm, has announced that Tom Fox has joined the firm as a senior environmental scientist to launch its aquatic services program. He is based in the firm’s Raleigh, North Carolina, office.
Fox has 15 years of experience, primarily in aquatics-related projects, including survey design, transect layouts, map design, data collection and analysis, field investigations, Section 7 consultations, regulatory agency coordination, preparation of biological assessment documents, and coordinating and conducting habitat assessments and surveys for mussels, fish, and aquatic salamanders.
“We’re very excited to welcome Tom to our team, as he is only one of a few individuals permitted in North Carolina to conduct surveys for all listed species of freshwater mussels, fish, crayfish, snails, and aquatic salamanders,” says Dewberry Associate and Senior Planner Beth Smyre, PE.
Fox earned his master’s degree in fisheries, wildlife, and conservation biology from North Carolina State University (2013), and his bachelor’s degree in biology from the George Washington University (2006). He is a member of the American Fisheries Society, Freshwater Mollusk Conservation Society, and the North Carolina Association of Environmental Professionals.
