Hey everyone,

My name is Mike Fallar. I just finished my fist semester at UNF as a Coastal Biology major and it's been a great experience so far. I spent the first sixteen years of my life near the calm, rocky north shore of Long Island and being battered by the surf on the south shore. I moved to Florida in 2004 and a year later I set up my first marine aquarium which was an experience that led me to where I am today. I would like to get involved in coral reef restoration/conservation and marine aquaculture after I graduate. I hope to learn a lot from this course and I am grateful to all those who are making this experience possible.
