Interim Director takes over at Shannon Point Marine Center

Brian Bingham will serve as interim director of Western Washington University’s Shannon Point Marine Center.

Bingham, a professor of environmental sciences in Western’s Huxley College of the Environment, began his duties last week.

He was appointed to the position after former SPMC Director Erika McPhee-Shaw resigned over the summer.

A national search for a new director should begin next fall with a permanent director set to take over summer 2019.
