The New York Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) has released its seventh episode in its YouTube series On the Front Lines. The latest episode, Research Scientist, features the coordinator of the harmful algal bloom program.
DEC began the series in February to celebrate the stories of DEC staff and their work to protect the environment, serve the public, and conserve natural resources. Previous episodes have profiled dam safety employees, a spills engineer, an environmental conservation officer, a lab equipment designer, a biologist, and a forest health scientist.
