CSA Ocean Sciences Inc. (CSA), a leader in Marine Environmental Sciences and Services, is pleased to announce that it has been named the winner of one of the prestigious 2009 Governor’s Business Diversification Awards. The Green-to-Gold Award, new to the Governor’s Business Diversification Awards this year, advocates the sustainable management of resources and the stewardship of the natural environment through product, practices, and or processes and is awarded to a Florida company, organization, or institution that best exemplifies “green” leadership.

Mr. Robert Mulcahy, Vice President of CSA, accepted this honor on behalf of CSA during Florida’s Industry Appreciation Week in Tallahassee at an awards presentation luncheon that was coordinated by Enterprise Florida, the principal economic development organization for the state of Florida. “CSA is honored to be the first winner of this prestigious award. Our corporate culture and ecological restoration services exemplify “green business,” and as we move forward into the next decade, we hope to expand these services and products into other areas. With a corporate history of nearly 40 years, CSA is committed to developing these additional services that sustain and enhance our environment,” said Mr. Mulcahy.

CSA focuses on the preservation and restoration of Florida's marine resources with proper planning and management for development. The sustainability of these resources depends on government regulation, public participation, and the development of techniques and planning processes working with private industry to preserve and restore these natural assets. Our services are vital to the economic growth of Florida as the local economy and many coastal areas are based on tourism and retirement-based development. The natural draw to Florida includes favorable weather conditions, clean water, and an outdoor lifestyle, and CSA’s services help protect, preserve, and restore these attributes.
