When you have the right backing, you're able to do research at an incredibly high level.
— Dylan Kiene

Dylan's story in marine science began with a legacy and a university willing to invest in his potential. Today, he's helping advance our understanding of Gulf fisheries through a $5-million research project. Together, we can give the next researcher, innovator and problem-solver the opportunity to make an impact.
