Michele Roest coordinates the Sanctuary's southern office in San Simeon. Her primary duties are to collaborate with local agencies and organizations in the southern Sanctuary range, from Cambria to Big Sur. She provides public and school education presentations and assists with other Sanctuary programs, including water quality monitoring and research projects. Michele received her Bachelor's degree in Biology from U.C. Santa Cruz (1984) and her Master's degree in Biology from California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo (1996). Her biology experience is primarily with marine mammals, including harbor seals, sea otters and elephant seals.

Challenges in Managing Park Lands for the People and Resources of California.
The duality of the California State Parks mission statement (protecting
resources while providing for outstanding outdoor recreation) creates unique
perspectives for the implementation of Federal, State and local policies and
regulations.
Greg Smith moved here in 1974 to pursue a relationship with the natural
resources of San Luis Obispo County which had a population of 120,000. Greg
started working with the State in 1978 as groundskeeper before returning to
college to study biology. He worked as State biologist for 16 years before
changing careers to take on the role of managing State parks. Greg says "I am
very fortunate to have met my wife Karen 16 years ago, who in turn treated me to
a Welsh Terrier named Marley that continues to provide me with unconditional
love 14 years later."
Special needs include: good jokes, perfect weather and challenging questions.
