USF College of Marine Science establishes the Vembu Subramanian MSAC Award

ST. PETERSBURG, FL – Master’s students, Kate Dubickas and Alexander Ilich, wrote a piece titled, “Becoming an Ocean Advocate through Experiential Learning”, published in Oceanography Volume 30 Issue 04. The short expose focuses on their time and experiences during Dr. Frank Muller-Karger and Dr. Mark Luther’s Ocean Policy class in the Spring of 2016. Examples range from implementing change locally, such as was done after meeting with Mayor Kriseman, and nationally by elected officials on Capitol Hill. This is a huge interdisciplinary accomplishment from some of CMS’s very own budding ocean scientists.
