Center of the University of Maryland University
College, Vice Admiral Conrad C. Lautenbacher,
Jr., Under Secretary of Commerce for Oceans and
Atmosphere, awarded the U.S. Department of
Commerce Bronze Medal to the NOAA FOCI Program.
FOCI was cited "for scientific achievements that
have advanced fisheries oceanography and marine
ecology and have contributed to building
sustainable fisheries in the North Pacific." The
award was accepted by Dr. Eddie Bernard,
representing the Pacific Marine Environmental
Laboratory and Dr. Jeff Napp, representing the
Alaska Fisheries Science Center. Each
organization received a wall plaque with a bronze
medal and inscription.
