Robbie “The Map” Greene, Associate Director
Robbie has lived, worked, fished, and surfed in the Mariana Islands for over a decade. He enjoyed prior stints as the NOAA Coral and Coastal Management Liaison for CNMI and the GIS Specialist at the CNMI Coastal Program.
After spending a few winters snowshoeing across a frozen lake to work at the University of Wisconsin Sea Grant Institute, he gladly moved to Saipan in 2012 as the CNMI’s first NOAA Coastal Fellow. His professional interests include using geospatial tools to try and solve all the problems, wrangling wave buoys, and attempting to engineer surf breaks by providing “selective” advice in local coral restoration plans.
Fun Fact: Robbie has broken both of his ankles playing in Saipan’s overly-competitive soccer league. Robbie does not play soccer anymore.
