PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE:
FAU HARBOR BRANCH
When I joined FAU in 2014, it was clear that Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute was an area of strength for the university. Today, as the headquarters for our rapidly expanding Ocean Science and Engineering/Environmental Sciences pillar, FAU Harbor Branch remains a significant contributor to the university’s growing research portfolio. We continue to forge new partnerships and collaborations, and build our research efforts, to expand the scope and impact of our work. Harbor Branch researchers also are regularly featured in the media as experts on some of today’s most pressing issues, including the algae crisis, marine life conservation and drug discovery.

From its earliest days, Harbor Branch’s leaders have advocated for its success with great vision and boundless energy. This year we lost a true friend in director emerita Marilyn Link, who supported Harbor Branch and the university in countless ways over more than 40 years. Marilyn’s legacy lives on through the generations who will benefit from her leadership and generosity. I know the future of Harbor Branch is in equally good hands with Jim Sullivan, who was named executive director in August. Jim’s impressive research background, passion for environmental and ocean sciences, and leadership skills will be great assets to this important pillar. I’m extremely proud of all that we’ve accomplished in the 10 years since Harbor Branch became part of FAU. I’m also very excited about the future … a future in which FAU Harbor Branch’s transformational research and innovations solve the most serious health, energy and security problems of today, and improve the quality of life for coastal communities everywhere. John Kelly, Ph.D.
President, Florida Atlantic University
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE: The harmful algal blooms (HABs) of 2018 were ramping up as I assumed the role of Executive Director last August. HAB dynamics and development of technology to study this complex issue are at the core of my research career. As a result, providing briefings to concerned politicians, community leaders, the media and the public were filling a large portion of my schedule. I, alongside many HBOI faculty and staff, worked hard as a team to ensure we were conducting needed sampling and keeping the public informed. In retrospect, this experience of “jumping into the fire” was critically important, as it solidified my belief that HBOI is truly a state leader in providing the research expertise required to better understand and manage the HAB problem throughout Florida. I have had several important realizations throughout my first months as Executive Director, largely from gaining a more in-depth understanding of the fascinating research conducted at HBOI. I now have a full appreciation of the tireless work required to keep the institute running and the integral role our support staff play in making it all happen. FAU is in its fifth decade of marine science and technology work that produces positive environmental, societal and economic outcomes. As Executive Director of HBOI, I also lead a strategic effort to combine this expertise across many FAU centers and colleges. With colleagues across the university, we are driving impactful research and further diversifying our external funding portfolio. Here are just a few areas of emphasis to highlight as we look toward 2019: • We are fulfilling an unmet scientific need to protect the health and safety of the Indian River Lagoon’s regional population with the new Florida Center for Coastal and Human Health. The Center, seeded by a generous grant from the Harbor Branch Foundation, combines leading expertise across HBOI, FAU and external partners to examine the Indian River Lagoon ecosystem and watersheds. The ultimate goal is to create a better understanding of the connections between climate change, the local environment, HABs and resulting human health issues. • Ocean engineering is a hallmark of HBOI, and we are working to expand on this legacy. Moving into defense-related research with corporate partners is an important area of future development for both FAU and HBOI. We are currently pursuing a federal appropriation from the U.S. Navy to establish a non-acoustic detection center at HBOI, leveraging our world-class engineering capabilities. • We also are actively pursuing a second federal funding opportunity with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to expand our widely recognized warm-water aquaculture research program. • As I mentioned at the beginning of this letter, educating the public regarding our research is a top priority. We are excited to support a renewed emphasis on HBOI education, outreach and development programs. See the back cover of this report for more information on how you can engage with our Mission: Ocean Discovery programming. The funding and publication information provided in this report reflects FAU Harbor Branch’s productivity of sound research and innovative technologies designed to tackle grand challenges concerning our ocean, coastlines and related quality of life impacts. Research is costly, and FAU Harbor Branch scientists and support staff are working hard, every day, to secure federal, state, corporate and private foundation grants. Individual gifts from our community are greatly needed to fortify these efforts. You can make a difference and significantly propel our work with a charitable donation. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, James M. Sullivan, Ph.D.
