Although trained originally as a comparative biochemist, Dr. Crozier has spent most of his professional career in Coastal Zone Management, which might be considered as a specialization in applied marine ecology. He has been the Executive Director of the Dauphin Island Sea Lab at the mouth of Mobile Bay since 1979. As the Director of the Coastal Policy Center at the Laboratory, he is active regionally in most management issues, Dr. Crozier received NOAA’s Walter B. Jones Coastal Steward Award for 1999/2000 and has been honored by the State of Alabama as a science educator. He is currently deeply engaged in the issues emerging from urban sprawl in coastal areas and mitigation thereof.
