Sharon Ziegler-Chong, M.S., Universtiy of South Carolina,
Human and natural resource management.
 As Associate
Director for the University of Hawaii at Hilo Pacific Aquaculture and Coastal
Resources Center (PACRC), I assist with the coordination of Center programmatic
activities, including education, research and outreach programs in the Pacific
Basin region. I oversee efforts related to internships, technical training
programs, and other educational efforts, including coordination of projects with
university, agency, and community partners. As part of this, I work with
the UH EPSCoR effort and regional partners to coordinate several summer
internship programs focused on involving more underrepresented minorities,
especial Native Pacific Islanders, in career exploration related to our insular
environments. Additionally, I am involved with the development of a new PACRC
facility slated for completion in 2005, which will serve as a demonstration and
research center in East Hawaii for aquaculture and coastal resources management.
Finally, I manage the Hawaii Cooperative Studies Unit (HCSU), a cooperative
program between USGS BRD and UH-Hilo located within the PACRC that coordinates
USGS-BRD research efforts focused on the conservation of Hawaiis natural
resources.
