  3. INTERNATIONAL ACTIVITIES –

Two times in 2010 I hosted researchers/educators from foreign countries (Indonesia and Dominica) who are interested in developing and implementing Sea Grant Extension-like programsin their home countries. My role was to inform them how I operate as a countySea Grant agent, and introduce them to members of my professional network so they could set up similar arrangements in their regions. I served as a representative of UF/IFAS and Florida Sea Grant in order to expand extension programs on a global scale

  1. EXTENSION PROGRAM -

My extension program in 2011 will focus on 1) sustaining marine recreational fisheries, 2) promoting seafood safety and sustainability-particularly promoting local seafood choices, 3) and developing an ocean literate coastal community through marine/environmental education and facilitation training.
