Vice President of Hubbs-Sea World Research Institute
Executive Committee member,
Co-Chair Environment
Co-ChairEnvironmental Collaboration Workgroup
myregion.org

 

"I would like to have the bones of the 33-foot humpback whale that washed ashore in Brevard County. These can be powerful education tools, and of course kids love looking at bones.” The bones would ultimately rest in a new research institute Hubbs-SeaWorld plans to build in south Brevard County."

As quoted in the Orlando Sentinel this week.
