Steven Ripley accepted the position of Science Program Manager at the Global Reef Project on February 22, 2010. Mr. Ripley, who has taken a sabbatical from his doctoral program in Marine Biology at the University of Plymouth, has already had a three-year association with the development of the Global Reef Project. He began consulting with us in the very earliest days, and has continued to support this dream during the long search for the right vessel and financial partners. Mr. Ripley has experience in molecular biology and ocean acidification. Of particular interest to him are the effects of increasing dissolved carbon dioxide levels on coral reef ecosystems. He is a qualified PADI Dive Master and an experienced trans-oceanic yachtsman. His interests and efforts will have a great impact on the success of the Global Reef Project. We welcome him aboard
