Background

About Kaitlin Cocks

I am an Environmental Project Manager and Aquatic Ecologist with over 10 years of experience advancing sustainable resource management, ecological compliance, and biodiversity conservation. I specialize in leading multidisciplinary projects across aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, watershed monitoring, and environmental impact studies, while ensuring compliance with federal and provincial regulations, including DFO, MECP, and MNR. My expertise spans aquatic biology, fisheries monitoring, soil and groundwater assessments, and erosion and sediment control. I am recognized for my ability to streamline operations, train technical teams, and strengthen partnerships with clients and stakeholders through accurate reporting and scope expansion. Recent accomplishments include: • Streamlined company-wide scheduling and on-time delivery of environmental projects by implementing Monday.com. • Enhanced Species at Risk turtle monitoring in the Toronto Islands through boat-led genetic profiling. • Advanced ecological management of the Lake Simcoe basin by classifying northern watersheds and supporting biomass studies of invasive mussel species. I am committed to driving environmental compliance and ecological sustainability across diverse ecosystems. I welcome opportunities to connect with organizations dedicated to advancing conservation, environmental monitoring, and resource management.
