On October 22, 2002, at the Inn and Conference 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.
A local ceremony was conducted on December 18, 2002, in Seattle,
Washington, to honor FOCI and its members. A scrapbook of the event is
available to download (preferred) as a PowerPoint presentation, or you may
view it with your browser (lesser quality images, best with Internet Explorer).
