Marine Environmental Awards Luncheon: The Dauphin Island Sea Lab Foundation will host the Tenth Annual Marine Environmental Awards Luncheon on Wednesday October 26, 2022, from 11:30 am until 1:00 pm at the Riverview Hotel.  This will be a wonderful luncheon featuring American Oceanographer Dr. David Gallo.  Awards will also be presented to Angus R Cooper III and Alabama Wildlife Federation who have both made outstanding contributions to marine environmental sustainability in the Alabama Gulf Coast Region. 

Keynote Speaker:  Dr. David Gallo has participated in expeditions to all of the world’s oceans and was one of the first scientists to use a combination of robots and submarines to explore the deep seafloor. Most recently he co-led an expedition to create the first detailed and comprehensive map of the RMS Titanic and he co-led the successful international effort to locate the remains of Air France flight 447.  He is presently involved in planning an international expedition to locate and document the wreckage of Ernest Shackleton’s ship, HMS Endurance.
