In addition to being a great biologist, Thomas has repeatedly demonstrated a detailed understanding of the regulatory and economic components of project management. Thomas' ability to understand the interrelationship between the biology, regulations, and economics of a project distinguishes him from most other consultants. He is articulate and his even demeanor makes him and excellent expert witness, whether before a public board or a court of law.

I worked with Thomas for years on complex environmental issues. His critical strategic insights, his thoughtful environmental messaging and his communications skills were essential to the success of many regional initiatives. Our work together on the Bay and Walton County Watershed Plan and Ecosystem Management Agreement is a legacy of positive ecological and economic outcomes.

Icarus is responsive, understands customer service, and are experts at negotiating the regulatory structure. They understand the nuances of Section 10, SSL, and water-dependent activities - the lifeblood of marinas and boat works.

My thanks to Thomas Estes and his team for the great work they accomplished in very little time. SNCF and Alstom were very impressed by the documents and data which were provided. I think it is fair to say that the Congressman and his staff were equally impressed yesterday on the Hill. This work allowed us to clearly determine that tunnels had to be built through the Tehachapi mountains!
