Congratulations to David
Shiffman who is the Florida Marine Science Educators Association’s (FMSEA) John
Beakley Marine Science Educator of the Year.
At the annual FMSEA
meeting in Panama City the award was made for organizing a conference on using
the Internet to educate the public about ocean science and reaching more than
500 schoolchildren, in person and via Skype, to talk about sharks and ocean
conservation.
The FMSEA began
recognizing the outstanding marine educator of the year in 1986, in honor of
John Beakley, a marine science resources teacher in Palm Beach County and one
of FMSEA’s founders. It is awarded annually to an educator who has demonstrated
dedication to promoting and developing marine science in Florida.
Shiffman said
“Billions of people rely on the oceans for food and employment, and we’re in
danger of losing many of these critical resources due to mismanagement. It’s so
important for marine scientists to talk to the public about these issues.”
