Mote Marine Laboratory’s Board of Trustees has announced the election of Dr. Howard Seider as chairman of the board, Maurice Cunniffe as vice-chairman, Scott Collins as treasurer and Sandi Stuart, who will continue as secretary. Dr. Michael P. Crosby will continue as president and Robert Essner will continue his trustee service, now as immediate past-chairman. Hobart Swan joins as a new trustee.

Mote's Board of Trustees supports the Lab in its mission of advancing marine science, education and outreach. In that regard, the board has also announced financial commitment from 100% of its members in support of Mote’s campaign, Oceans for All: Improving Access to Marine Science & Technology. This campaign reinforces the Lab’s Vision & Strategic Plan for the rebirth of Mote’s public outreach aquarium as the new Mote Science Education Aquarium, to be located at Nathan Benderson Park.
