2013 Environmental Excellence Award

2013 marks the 5th Anniversary of the Spill Control Association of America’s Environmental Excellence Award program, created to encourage careers in marine transportation and marine environmental fields.  SCAA Board member Mike Gallagher recently presented the 2013 Environmental Excellence Award to Travis Meyer, a student at the New York Maritime College with impressive credentials.  Travis enlisted in the Navy as a seaman recruit and because of his demonstrated capability and performance, the Navy paid his tuition to send him to the New York Maritime College for three years.  Travis was commissioned an Ensign Naval Officer and is reporting for Nuclear Submarine Training.
