Farewell...
This month we say goodbye to long-time Rhode Island Sea Grant Director Barry Costa-Pierce, who is leaving URI and GSO to take a new position at the University of New England in Saco-Biddeford.
Barry will serve as the Doherty Endowed Chair of Marine Sciences, the Director of the UNE Marine Science Research, Education and Outreach Center, Chair of the UNE Department of Marine Sciences, and Director of the UNE Center for Land-Sea Interactions.
Barry's leadership of Rhode Island Sea Grant for over 10 years has been a tremendous asset to Sea Grant, GSO, URI, New England and beyond.
Although we will miss him, please join us in wishing Barry great success in his new endeavor!
