Lenny Grimaldo will discuss the life history of the steelhead trout & show how our creek’s health is important to them.

Lenny leads a fisheries and aquatic re-search practice for a consulting firm in No. Calif. He has spent his career conducting research on fishes in California waters and is currently studying the role of estuarine marshes to support listed fish species such as delta smelt, longfin smelt, and Chinook salmon.

He also works on several steelhead smolt studies in the SF Bay/Delta, aiming to determine the factors that affect their emigration to the ocean. Lenny earned this PhD from UC Davis in Ecology (emphasis Fisheries Biology), M.S. from SF State Rom-berg Tiburon in Marine Science, and his B.S. in Wildlife and Fisheries Conservation Biology from U.C. Davis. Lenny resides in Pacifica with his wife and 2 boys.
