Campus Coordinators

Florida Sea Grant relies heavily on its group of "Campus Coordinators." Appointed by the president of each participating institution to represent Sea Grant, they provide both valuable advice in the management of the Sea Grant Program and a liaison with faculty and students on each campus to the Sea Grant Program statewide.

They meet at least biennially, and usually annually, depending on need and advice of the group. The Campus Coordinators provide programmatic direction as well as administrative direction regarding the way the Sea Grant Program is operated. Florida Sea Grant Management requests their input on such major issues ranging from whether to do annual or biennial proposals and how the review process is organized to operational issues including how best to communicate with the 700-800 faculty statewide who are interested in Sea Grant. All maintain on-campus e-mail or hard mail mailing lists for communicating with faculty regarding calls for proposals and distributing Florida Sea Grant’s bi-monthly Faculty Progress Report. The current membership is given below.
