Florida Sea Grant Extension Program

Welcome!
I'm Bryan Fluech, Collier County’s Florida Sea Grant Extension Agent.  Florida Sea Grant is a partnership between Florida’s universities and its citizens, industries, and government.  Sea Grant's mission is to enhance the practical use and conservation of the state's marine and coastal resources to create a sustainable environment and economy.  It accomplishes these goals through research, extension, education and communications.

My responsibilities include developing comprehensive marine and natural resource educational programs that focuses on marine recreational and commercial fisheries, seafood safety and sustainability, and marine science and environmental education.  My clientele include the recreational and commercial fishing sector, marine and coastal resource users, marine management agencies, public and private organizations, youth groups and educational institutions, and I am able to present on a variety of marine and coastal subjects upon request.
