casey proto
staff Scientist
The Horsley Witten Group is happy to announce that Casey Proto has joined our Sandwich Restoration team as a Staff Scientist. Casey recently earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Marine Science, Safety, and Environmental Protection from the Massachusetts Maritime Academy (MMA). During his time at MMA, Casey enjoyed being a peer tutor in the chemistry department and being part of a study on eelgrass health and its abundance in Buzzards Bay. Additionally, Casey had the opportunity to mentor underclassmen students during a tropical ecology field course at the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences.
Casey has completed internships with the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) and the Association to Preserve Cape Cod (APCC). As a Compliance Intern in the Ship Operations Department at WHOI, Casey worked to ensure the Institution’s vessel operations complied with safety and environmental regulations through reviewing and drafting documents and protocols. At APCC, Casey collected and analyzed water samples from freshwater ponds to identify and quantify cyanobacteria. His current project portfolio includes a watershed assessment, environmental due diligence assignments, GIS work, and field work related to water sampling and topographic surveying.
Growing up in Centerville, Casey enjoyed the various Cape Cod landscapes and the numerous hiking trails, which grew his appreciation for the local environment. When not working he can be found golfing, reading, or hiking with his Golden Retriever Charlie.
Welcome to HW Casey, we are glad you are here!
