Liffmann, associate executive director of Louisiana Sea Grant and a
member of the CNREP Advisory Committee, will become extension leader
for the National Sea Grant College Program beginning in August.
“Mike’s
new position as national extension leader is a reflection of his
commitment to helping Sea Grant fulfill its mission of maintaining a
healthy coastal environment and economy,” said Dr. Charles Wilson,
Louisiana Sea Grant College Program executive director and Louisiana
State University vice provost. “The national office has called on Mike
before for assistance with various projects, so they recognize the
