So fun to participate in this program as part of @AUShellfishLab @MSALSeaGrant @CityofFairhope especially being back in my hometown!
During a ceremony at the Fairhope Docks this morning, Mayor Sullivan, city staff, and current/former members of the city's Harbor and Environmental Boards received official 'Clean and Resilient Marina' status from the 'MS./AL. Sea Grant' program, a division of the NOAA. #NOAA #flycreek #fairhopedocks #fairhopenews
