Dr. Ronald Abrams, CEP

President, Dru Associates, Inc., Glen Cove, NY

CEP Certified on 6/26/1994 in Environmental Research & Education

Tel:  516-676-7107

 

Bio:  Dr. Ron Abrams, CEP has an academic background that provides him with skills in biology, ecology and environmental policy.  He obtained degrees from Washington & Lee University (History/Politics, 1972), from the University of Cape Town (Zoology, 1976), a Masters from West Virginia University (Biology, 1979) and a Ph.D. in Ecology from the University of Cape Town in 1985.  His graduate research took him to temperate, polar and tropical ecosystems, in the northeastern U.S., the Caribbean and eastern and southern Africa, from where he traveled to sub-Antarctic islands on research vessels studying the pelagic ecology of seabirds and mammals.  He is widely published in his specialty, ecosystem analysis, and teaches in the Graduate Environmental Science program at Long Island University. 

After 15 years in academia, Dr. Abrams joined NYS DEC in 1985 as a Supervisor in the Division of Fish and Wildlife, directing the completion of the State’s wetland mapping for New York City.  After 1986, he joined Dru Associates, and has specialized in applied ecological research, including endangered species, habitat protection, habitat restoration, wetland delineation, permitting and mitigation for a wide array of clients, including Federal, State and municipal contracts.  The company has now participated in the design and construction of golf courses with some of the world’s leading golf course architects, including Robert Trent Jones, Rees Jones, Ben Crenshaw, Roy Case and the Roger Rulewich Group.

Dr. Abrams has accumulated extensive experience in the ecology of sensitive habitats and remote sensing applications (from experience with BIOMASS in Antarctica and the Southern Ocean in academia and from wetland mapping technology used with NYS DEC).  As an ecological practitioner, he has developed expertise in the planning of, and implementation of “hands-on” habitat protection, restoration and especially wetland construction.  Dru Associates has developed into one of the few companies that will stay with wetland projects from “cradle to grave”, beginning with delineation, following through with permitting and finally supervising and executing construction contracts, with a focus on golf courses built on sensitive lands.
