We are pleased to announce the selection of Carl R. Goodwin as Chief of the Florida District. Carl currently is the Subdistrict Chief in Miami.

Carl began his career in 1965 as a streamgager in Menlo Park, California.

In 1991, he transferred from Tampa to the Pacific Northwest as District Chief for Washington where he expanded and strengthened the program. In 1996, Carl returned to Florida as the Subdistrict Chief of the Miami office where he led strong program growth and developed productive partnerships in support of ecosystem restoration objectives in south Florida.
