Arlene Pecora News: FAU's CUES Supports Florida Oceans Day

Arlene Pecora serves for many Broward Coundy Foundations, including Florida Atlantic University. As an active member of FAU’s Broward County President’s Community Council, Ms. Pecora has helped raise community awareness of FAU’s local branches, encourage interactivity between staff and students, and raise the quality of education offered at the Broward County campuses.

Florida Ocean Alliance Chair David McDonald and Vice Chair Kumar Mahadevan joined Department of Environmental Protection Deputy Secretary for Regulatory Programs and Energy Mike Sole at a press conference to celebrate Oceans Day in Tallahassee last month. Over 50 exhibits were displayed in the Capitol to educate legislators and state agency staff about oceans and coastal issues. This year’s Ocean’s Day theme, “Ocean Partners for Florida’s Future,” saluted the work of the Florida Oceans and Coastal Resource Council, which was created by the 2005 Legislature to help manage the state’s coastal and marine resources and to develop an annual research plan.

The Florida Ocean Alliance is a nonprofit, nonpartisan, public-private partnership of government, academic, and private sector organizations. Formed in 1999, the alliance promotes awareness and understanding of the ocean’s importance to the ecology and economy of Florida.
