Who thinks FAU is on its way to becoming one of the top marine biology universities in the country as well as a top bio med researcher? We have a 500 acre campus, Harbor Branch, dedicated to just marine biology. That campus even has its own submarines.

Weren't we just thinking about closing the Harbor Branch?
Teambeer is the most knowledgeable FAU sports fan I know, way smarter than me.

No, I think there were discussing closing Sea Tech in Dania?

Right, they were discussing the closure of Sea Tech, although I don't know if that went through because the researchers there were complaining that some of their research was location-dependent and thus couldn't be replicated at Harbor Branch. After the budget crisis hit, it seemed like our absorption Harbor Branch was more of a chore than a blessing.
In terms of becoming a major marine bio player, it seems to me like we're only making progress on one front: opportunities. Fact is, we still have the same handful of marine bio researchers but now they have more options regarding how they can carry out their research. They had SeaTech, Everglades, Gumbo Limbo (did you know that one of their buildings is just for FAU research? I've helped a friend doing research there) and now Harbor Branch. But to push forward and be one of the big players, we need more marine bio researchers to use all the space. More researchers means more research being put into scientific journals and advancing FAU's name and reputation, which then motivates more graduate students to work here. I can see this happening since Brogan made a point of it in his CREST OF THE WAVE 2017 speech, about being a leader in marine bio and everglades restoration research.
