In recognition of his dedicated work to help marina owners and operators comply with existing and emerging water quality regulations, CZM’s Robin Lacey was presented with the Educator of the Year Award by the Massachusetts Marine Trades Association (MMTA) on January 29, 2008. “For almost 10 years, Robin has patiently and proactively educated Massachusetts marine businesses on their responsibilities as stewards of the coastal environment. If one of our member firms is overwhelmed with the complexity of a specific environmental compliance regulation, they can count on Robin to swiftly answer their questions with clear and concise information,” said MMTA’s Greg Glavin. “In doing so, he has shepherded an entire industry in the direction of environmental compliance solutions that are effective, attainable, and affordable,” he continued.

“Robin is firmly committed to helping make all of this easier for the marina operators, who are more than willing to do all they can to keep the water that their businesses depend on as clean as possible,” said CZM Director Leslie-Ann McGee. “We are very proud that he was recognized by MMTA for his efforts, and look forward to our continued partnership with them.”
