Meet the Staff
The current staff of the Emerald Coast Wildlife Refuge represents a combined eighty years of experience in the animal science field. Each member of our staff has been formally educated at an accredited institution and has received a degree in biology or a related field. The refuge carefully selected individuals with experience and training in a variety of areas including animal medical husbandry, captive wildlife management, and environmental education. Despite this experience, we are constantly striving to learn and increase our knowledge, skills, and abilities as wildlife caregivers.
