Clark Alexander, interim executive director of UGA’s Skidaway Institute of Oceanography, has been honored by the coastal environmental group One Hundred Miles as one of the group’s One Hundred Miles 100. The list is the first recognition of its kind to honor 100 individuals and organizations for their efforts to support the health, vitality and future of Georgia’s 100-mile coastline. Alexander was selected within the researchers and innovators category.
A coastal geologist, Alexander was cited for his research efforts, which he began on the Georgia coast in 1989 when he joined the UGA Skidaway Institute. He also was cited by the environmental group for helping to advance the work of institutions across the coast. Alexander served on the Sapelo Island National Estuarine Research Reserve Advisory Board, the Gray’s Reef National Marine Sanctuary Advisory Council, and the Georgia Coastal Marshlands and Shore Protection committees.
Alexander and the other honorees were recognized Jan. 7 with a reception immediately following the One Hundred Miles’ Coastal Conservation in Action: Choosing to Lead Conference on Jekyll Island.
