I have had a front row seat to the fantastic work they have done so far, and I am proud to now have an official role with the organization.”

"I am excited to join the Coastal Stewards' team as a member of the Board of Directors,” Dr. Reilly said. "I hope to work with local students and community members who are interested in writing about and creating media about the preservation of our delicate marine life ecosystems."
