I was deeply saddened to learn of Sam Hamilton's untimely death this weekend. Sam was a wonderful colleague for whom we at N.O.A.A. had deep admiration. The N.O.A.A. family shares in this great loss to the conservation community, and we extend our sincere condolences to Sam's family and to all of our colleagues at the Department of the Interior.
Sam was, above all, a true champion of wildlife conservation. Those of us who worked with Sam on restoration efforts in the Florida Everglades and the Gulf of Mexico greatly appreciated his passion, integrity, knowledge and devotion to conservation issues and to people. His unique ability to work across agencies and with diverse stakeholders to craft meaningful solutions to challenging problems was legendary. It will surely be a part of his legacy and a model for all of us.
It can be said that Sam enriched all of our lives and made our nation stronger. We will miss him dearly.
Dr. Jane Lubchenco
Under Secretary of Business for Oceans and Atmosphere and N.O.A.A. Administrator
