FOCI awarded DOC Bronze Medal

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).
