"The reason I chose to work on the water is because I grew up in the water and it’s definitely a passion of mine. I had a great opportunity to start at the marina 38 years ago and I never looked back.” Howard Bush, Gulfport: “My interest in working on the water primarily is for boating safety, and of course recreation. I am an avid boater and I really enjoy being on the water, fishing, diving, snorkeling and of course my involvement with Coast Guard Auxiliary has primarily been for the recreation of boating safety, for vessel examinations and I’m also their telecommunications officer and operate their radio room.”

Marty Richardson, Gulfport:
“I grew up in an area of the country that had almost no water and I wanted to go into the service, so I joined the Coast Guard. It’s been 21 years enjoying the water so when I’d come to Gulfport I decided, ‘Let’s enjoy the water some more.’ And one reason we moved here was to enjoy the beach, the water.” James Lowe, Palmetto: “I was born and raised on the beaches of Pinellas County, so it’s always been in my blood and I’ve been a charter captain for 15 years and now I’ve received a new career with the City of Gulfport.”
