Central CA Region
JACOB KATZ, Ph.D. Central California Director
Jacob was born with gills. Fascinated with what happened below the water line, he grew up chasing fish in every creek, puddle, river and pond he could find. Eventually Jacob was hooked by school taking a Ph.D. in ecology at the UCD Center for Watershed Sciences under Dr. Peter Moyle. Now, as Central California Director, his work focuses on 1) integrating biologic science and natural history into the management and operation of California’s water infrastructure and 2) developing ways to get greater fish and wildlife benefit out of working agricultural landscapes while ensuring that California is always home to self-sustaining runs of wild salmon.
