Half Moon Bay Review/Clay Lambert, (Carina Woudenberg contributed to this article), 10/15/15. "David resigns from Harbor Commission. Cites health concerns one year into term."
 |
| Nicole David, Vice President San Mateo County Harbor Board resigns. Health reasons. |
.... It
was not immediately clear how her seat would be filled. Commission
President Tom Mattusch said he thought the commission would likely
interview volunteers who might step forward but that ultimately the
county Board of Supervisors could make an appointment if the commission
failed to agree on a candidate. Alternatively, the Commission could call
a special election, but Mattusch said that would likely cost about
$200,000 and he did not think that likely. David’s unexpired term runs
through 2018.
.... David was elected, along with boat captain Tom Mattusch, on a platform of change. .... David earned praise for her work ethic and calm amid a stormy season of harbor politics. 'Nicole brought tremendous balance,' Mattusch said." Read article.
Reference. San Mateo County Harbor District Board of Commissioners, Nicole David, Vice President. "David grew up in Germany and graduated with a Master's Degree in Marine Biology from the University of Berlin. Since 1998, she has worked for the San Francisco Estuary Institute (SFEI), a non-profit scientific organization that studies water quality issues. Her background in marine and freshwater ecology with a focus on coastal waters and threatened ecosystems has allowed her to contribute to and lead SFEI watershed projects. Her research is directed toward studying contamination in storm-water runoff in agricultural and urban areas. David has also served on the Board of Directors for the Northern California Chapter of the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, including one year as president. ..."

David says 90% of the seafood eaten in the US is imported, and that we ship most of what U.S. fisherman catch to other countries. "There is a big disconnect. Let's build the local market.
