Goss says:
“I’m lucky to have spent so many years working as a local journalist in my home state, but I couldn’t be more thrilled to start a new chapter here at the Center by focusing on improving water quality in one of the fastest growing regions of the state.
“So many people are moving here because of the beauty of the Inland Bays, and I want to help them understand how precious these resources are and why it’s so vitally important to protect them for generations to come.”
