    Diverse Programs, Diverse Solutions

    We conduct science and public outreach that can be used to improve the conservation and management of coastal and marine resources. Led by Savanna Barry and Leslie Sturmer, our Extension programs make the most of the Nature Coast's diversity and natural-resource-based economy. Programs include sustainable coastal recreation, coastal resilience and restoration, shellfish aquaculture, and environmental volunteerism.
