Daigle Named Associate Director

Melissa Daigle, J.D., M.A., who served as a research attorney for Louisiana Sea Grant for 17 years, has become Louisiana Sea Grant’s associate director. Daigle’s new position will allow her to amplify LSG’s work, assist the executive director and enhance staff development. Her responsibilities include overseeing annual reporting to the National Sea Grant Office, strategic planning and coordinating program development efforts.

“While I greatly enjoyed my work as a research attorney, I am extremely interested in the bigger picture of Sea Grant and how our research, education and outreach impact people not only in Louisiana but also across the region and the country,” Daigle said.
