Alex Bevan is originally from Rough and Ready, CA. She graduated with a Master of Science in Interdisciplinary Marine and Estuarine Sciences from San Francisco State University's Estuary and Ocean Science Center. Her thesis research focused on using new innovative drone technology to survey and model species distribution and spatial overlap of Antillean manatees off the coast of Belize City. During her graduate studies she coordinated undergraduate field courses for the University of California Santa Cruz in various locations across California and Baja California, MX. She also worked as an intern for Greater Farallones National Marine Sanctuary where she organized the Beyond the Golden Gate Research Symposium.

As a fellow, Alex will be directly contributing to the future development of environmentally sustainable infrastructure in California by working with CalTrans Office of Environmental Analysis and Coastal Stewardship in the Bay Area. Her work will include biological surveys for salmonids, Northern Spotted Owls, and other ecologically vulnerable species, as well as incorporating climate change stressors into project development.
