Sound Rivers Board

Steve Anderson is both an ecologist and a musician, and currently serves as a program coordinator for the Albemarle-Pamlico National Estuary Partnership in eastern North Carolina and Virginia. Prior to joining APNEP, he spent 13 years conducting research at Duke and N.C. State universities on how contaminants, fire, flooding and saltwater impact water quality and plant health in forests, wetlands and streams throughout the state.

Steve, his partner and their two children call the Upper Neuse home — living, working and playing there.

“I first heard about Sound Rivers while working in the Ellerbe and Goose Creek watersheds of the Upper Neuse river,” Steve said. “I have admired Sound Rivers’ inspiring and influential work all throughout the state ever since. I seek every opportunity to engage and support communities in the just stewardship of the land and water who sustains us.”
