Katy Smith joined Marine Extension and Georgia Sea Grant in 1999. She manages the water quality program and provides classroom and field-based education and outreach related to water quality, marine debris and coastal ecology. She works with diverse partners to develop outreach campaigns and action plans to address water issues and environmental challenges.
