"Well, thank you so much, Chairman Nelson and Ranking Member Wicker. It really is a pleasure and truly an honor to be asked to testify before this important subcommittee."

"Every dollar spent conserving habitat, restoring water quality, protecting coastal and marine resources, and strengthening the community resilience will create jobs and return the investment many time..."

"The time for action is now; we cannot afford to wait."

"we are going to insist in the implementation of the law that the legislative intent is followed."
