FWC names boating educator of the year

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) has selected Dr. Wilbur G. Hugli of Fort Walton Beach as Florida’s 2010 Boating Educator of the Year.

As the state winner, Hugli will also be a candidate for the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators’ (NASBLA) national award.

The award recognizes those in the boating education field who go above and beyond to engage new and current boaters, raise awareness and make boating education initiatives relevant, thorough and exciting.

FWC Capt. Richard Moore, who is Florida’s boating law administrator and NASBLA representative, was responsible for working with a selection committee to choose a recipient for the award.
