river science and conservation for more than 20 years. As co-leader of
The Nature Conservancy\'s Global Freshwater Team, he leads a staff of
hydrologists, aquatic ecologists, policy specialists, educators and
communicators that support conservation projects across the Americas,
Asia and the Pacific region.

Working with public agencies, academic institutions and other private
organizations, Brian\'s work is focused on the global challenges of
meeting human needs for water while keeping river and lake ecosystems
healthy.

He has developed numerous scientific tools and methods to support river
restoration efforts, including the *Indicators of Hydrologic Alteration
software* that is being used by water managers and ecologists worldwide.
Brian has published many scientific papers on the importance of
ecologically sustainable water management in international science
journals and co-authored a book with Sandra Postel entitled Rivers for
Life: Managing Water for People and Nature (Island Press, 2003).  

Brian has provided scientific or technical consultation on more than 90
river projects worldwide. His travels have taken him to the Yangtze
River in China, the Paraguay River in Brazil, and the Sabie River in
Africa, but the Moormans River in Virginia is *home*.

height="2.191666666666667in"}**Dr LeRoy Poff,** an Associate Professor
of Biology at Colorado State University, has been working to advance an
interdisciplinary understanding and management of freshwater ecosystems,
especially streams and rivers. LeRoy's research focuses primarily on how
the diversity and function of plant and animal communities respond to
natural and human-caused changes in environmental factors (e.g.
streamflow patterns) over time. His work has been both basic and
applied, and has been supported by the National Science Foundation, the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. Forest Service, and the
U.S. Geological Survey. LeRoy's research spans a broad range of scales,
from interactions of aquatic insects that feed on algae (such as many
mayflies and caddisflies) on stream stones in different water depths and
velocities in a localized area, to regional and intercontinental scale
analyses of how fish populations vary in rivers subject to natural
fluctuations in streamflow, to global scale considerations of climate
change effects on river biodiversity and function.

LeRoy has been actively engaged in scientific outreach to the
non-governmental organization community. He served as senior scientist
for Trout Unlimited in 1996-1997, and he is currently on the Scientific
and Technical Advisory Committee for American Rivers. LeRoy has also
been involved with The Nature Conservancy, both through its Freshwater
Initiative and as a scientific advisor and mentor for the David Smith
post-doctoral fellowship program.

height="1.6555555555555554in"}**Dr Jim Kundell** is Professor Emeritus
at the University of Georgia where he served as the Director of the Carl
Vinson Institute of Government's Environmental Policy Program and
Professor of Environmental Policy in the Eugene Odum School of Ecology.
He is also former Policy Director of UGA's River Basin Center.

Jim is the author of more than 150 books, articles, and policy reports
on environmental policy topics. Recent projects include conducting water
policy research for the comprehensive state water management plan;
research on vegetative buffer requirements along trout streams; and
research relating to regional water planning and management in the
Southeastern United States. He has conducted studies relating to water
allocation, regional water management, watershed management, source
water protection, confined animal feeding operations, and impacts of
urban sprawl. He has served on numerous legislative committees and was
appointed by Governor Zell Miller to chair the Legislative Study
Committee on Wetlands and to serve on the Georgia Coastal Zone Advisory
Committee. Jim staffed Governor Roy Barnes' Community Green Space
Committee and provided technical support to the Georgia Municipal
Association/Association County Commissioners of Georgia Water Policy
Task Force and Water Management Campaign. He was co-director of the
Georgia Land Use Trends (GLUT) project, funded by the Turner Foundation,
and is former policy director of the University of Georgia's River Basin
Center. He is a member of the Environmental Advisory Board to the Chief
of Engineers, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. He served on the Board of
Directors of the Association of Ecosystem Research Centers and is a
delegate from the University of Georgia to the Universities Council on
Water Resources. He served twice as the staff chairman of the National
Conference of State Legislatures' Science, Energy and Environmental
Resources Committee and was vice chairman of the Southern Legislative
Conferences' Recycling Committee (RENEWS).

**Mr Charles Coomer** was employed by the Georgia Wildlife Resources
in1976 and served in several positions; from March 2001 until his
retirement in November, 2007 he served as the Chief of Fisheries. From
the 1980s he has been involved in instream flow issues such as flows
released from dams being relicensed by the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission. In the 1990s he served as the southeastern representative on
the National Instream Flow Program Assessment (NIFPA), a nationwide
effort to share information and ideas on how to improve state and
federal efforts to protect instream flows for fish and wildlife. NIFPA
held two meetings involving state instream flow coordinators, or
equivalent, from all 50 states, and federal instream flow coordinators
from all seven US Fish and Wildlife regions, with the last meeting
occurring in 1996. One outcome of these meetings was the realization
that there was a need to continue networking and to standardize the
science of instream flow. This led to the founding of the Instream Flow
Council (IFC) in 1998, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to
improve the effectiveness of instream flow programs for conserving
aquatic resources. Charles was asked by the newly formed IFC to serve as
an author for the development of a book to provide guidance in
developing instream flow programs and study plans, something the IFC
membership had requested. In the meantime, Charles was also using what
he had learned from the NIFPA project to work with other personnel in
the Georgia Department of Natural Resources to develop an instream flow
policy more protective of aquatic resources than the 7Q10 that had been
in place for decades. In the spring of 2001, Georgia's Board of Natural
Resources adopted a new instream flow policy designed to protect aquatic
resources. In 2002, the IFC published the book Charles helped develop
which was titled Instream Flows for Riverine Resource Stewardship; a
revised version of the book was published in 2004. Charles is currently
working on a project called the International Instream Flow Program
Initiative which began in the fall of 2005 and should end in late 2008
or early 2009. The main purposes of this project are to facilitate
assessment of the effectiveness of instream flow activities in the U.S.
and Canada and develop strategies to help agencies improve their
effectiveness.
