FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE<\/p>\n

\nKatie Mosher, kmosher@ncsu.edu<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Terri Kirby Hathaway is a new member of the Order of the Long Leaf Pine<\/a>, one of the most prestigious honors that North Carolina\u2019s governor can award. The recognition comes as Hathaway retires from 35 years working for the state as a marine educator.<\/p>\n

For 18 years Hathaway served as an education curator at the N.C. Aquarium on Roanoke Island. In 2003, she joined North Carolina Sea Grant as its marine education specialist. Her duties were manifold, including coordinating coastal curricula for classrooms across the state, organizing teacher workshops, and publishing the seasonal newsletter Scotch Bonnet<\/em><\/a>. In addition, she served as a core member of the team behind Lessons in Mariculture<\/em><\/a>, a set of 10 free lesson plans for high school students.<\/p>\n

Through her own authorship, Hathaway also taught others about the diverse flora and fauna that live along the N.C. coast, a unique region where northern species reach their southern limit and southern species their northernmost. She describes many of those species as a co-author of North Carolina\u2019s Amazing Coast: From Alligators to Zoeas<\/em><\/a>, as well as a contributor to Sea Grant\u2019s flagship website<\/a> and flagship magazine, Coastwatch<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cTerri has been a staple of our extension program for 17-plus years and one of its most visible faces,\u201d says extension director Frank L\u00f3pez. \u201cDuring that time, she has used her knowledge of the North Carolina coastal ecosystem to enrich the lives of students, educators, and the public. Her passion for the coast and knowledge about its processes are unmatched. We are excited about her next chapter, but she will be sorely missed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Indeed, colleagues and the public alike have found in a Hathaway a responsive, reliable expert for sundry questions about marine life.<\/p>\n

\u201cTerri is a great resource, not just to teachers but to anyone that approaches her asking for assistance. She has a wealth of knowledge on all things marine science, and on the rare occasion she doesn\u2019t know something, she is quick to research it and get you the answer,\u201d says Sea Grant fisheries specialist Sara Mirabilio, who is based at Hathaway\u2019s former office location at the Coastal Studies Institute near Wanchese on the Outer Banks.<\/p>\n

As a member of the Order of the Long Leaf Pine, Hathaway joins previous Sea Grant staff, including Mariner\u2019s Menu blogger Vanda Lewis, retired communications team member Sandra Harris, and retired director Ron Hodson.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am so incredibly honored to join the Order of the Long Leaf Pine, especially in the company of other N.C. Sea Grant folks who came before me,\u201d Hathaway says.<\/p>\n

Her latest award adds to a long list, which includes the N.C. Wildlife Federation\u2019s Conservation Educator of the Year and the National Marine Educators Association\u2019s James Centorino Award for non-formal educators, as well as their Honorary Membership Award for distinguished service to the organization.<\/p>\n

Though she has retired, Hathaway, who resides in Southern Shores on the Outer Banks, is confident that informal education lies in her future. \u201cI have an idea to start a regular beachcombing workshop,\u201d she says. \u201cIt\u2019s incredible what you can learn from a stroll along the shore.\u201d<\/p>\n
