Interests
For the past 20 years
I have directed Technical Support at Dauphin Island Sea Lab, a unit
that provides faculty and students with information, technology and
services related to coastal research. In addition, I am a member of DISL’s Coastal Policy
Institute, a multidisciplinary effort by planners, educators and
scientists to serve the needs of local government, industry and agency
decision makers in coastal management issues. One role I serve in this capacity is as a member of the
Technical Advisory Committees of the Mobile Bay National Estuary
Program and the Weeks Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve. Another is as the Quality Assurance Coordinator for the Alabama
Center for Estuarine Studies. I
regularly speak to a variety of audiences about the role of science in
management decisions.
