He is Environmental Director at Consulting Engineering & Science. Prior to joining our firm, Dr. Marcus was the Environmental Administrator with the Florida Department of Transportation for Dade and Monroe Counties where he served as chief environmental advisor and supervised all environmentally related DOT activities including environmental documents, public involvement and permitting. He was responsible for ecological studies and research, environmental impact statements, Section 4(f) statements, negative declarations, environmental assessments and environmental permits. He has developed and supervised restoration and enhancement programs to establish new habitat and shoreline stabilization using mangroves, seagrasses and riprap; prepared environmental determinations and assessments on numerous projects including marine, wetland, air and noise impacts; and has prepared and submitted- numerous environmental permit applications at the Federal, State and local levels. Dr. Marcus also spent two years as a coastal wetlands and marina specilist with Dade County Department of Environemtal Resources Manageement (DERM) working in restoration and enhancement projects in Biscayne Bay and evaluating coastal permit applications. Dr. Marcus has.been active in scientific research on corals, mangroves, and seag rasses sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy and Mobile Oil Corporation; authoring or co- authoring twenty (20) publications. He has been associated with Florida International University and the Greater Caribbean Energy and Environmental Foundation. He has also taught coral reef ecology and zoology at FIU and Broward Community College as an adjunct professor.
