\nAbout Fred Felleman:
\;\n\nCommissioner Felleman has been a conservation leader protecting the Pacific Northwest'\;s marine environment through research\, photography\, and advocacy for over three decades. He received his Bachelor \;of Science degree from the University of Michigan and his Master \;of Science degree in Fisheries Biology from the University of Washington where he studied the feeding ecology of Southern Resident killer whales. \; \;
\n\nFred recognizes his primary obligation to protect industrial lands from encroachment in order for the Port to provide the broad-based economic opportunities that have supported the cultural fabric of the region. He also understands the importance of the Port being a good neighbor in order to retain the social license for businesses to succeed which requires a trained workforce that can afford to live in an increasingly expensive region that has grown detached from the working waterfront.
\n\nFred is acutely aware of the nexus between environmental protection and social equity. He has led efforts to reduce the Port?s carbon footprint by installing solar arrays on Port buildings and advancing the use of sustainable aviation fuels. \;He has also worked with cab and drayage truck drivers to minimize the impacts of environmental challenges as well as with communities neighboring the airport and Duwamish River.
