Dr. Steve Murawski, NAS-OSB

Congratulations to Dr. Steve Murawski on his appointment to the National Academy of Sciences’ Ocean Studies Board!! 

“I appreciate very much the opportunity to serve on the National Academy’s Ocean Studies Board. The Board is the premier independent evaluator of the quality and relevance of ocean science supported by federal, state and private agencies and entities. It provides expert evaluations and advice to the agencies and interacts with administrators and experts at the highest levels of government. The opportunity to work under Chairman Robert Duce (Texas A&M) and with its talented cadre of volunteer members and full-time staff to evaluate topical science priorities for the Gulf of Mexico and the nation is a unique professional opportunity. I hope to both learn more about the priorities for ocean research and monitoring and plans for the nation and to contribute in some way to their success”.
