SAN DIEGO – The Maritime Alliance Board of Directors selected Greg Murphy as Executive Director to help lead The Maritime Alliance (TMA) in further promoting San Diego’s Blue Economy and organizing the largest BlueTech cluster in the United States.

Murphy was chosen for his contributions as a Board Member of TMA Foundation and his proven record as Policy Advisor for San Diego County Supervisor Greg Cox, who also serves on the California Coastal Commission, the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority, and most recently, was selected by the White House to serve on a National Ocean Council committee that advises the President on ocean policy.

“San Diego is a world leading center for ocean and water technology,” Murphy said. “Instead of importing the world’s problems, we ought to export the world’s solutions. I’m excited to help our region plan for a more sustainable future.”

“We are thrilled to have Greg join TMA,” said Michael Jones, President of The Maritime Alliance. “The BlueTech sector is growing, we are working with more and more exciting ocean and water technology companies, and we continue to develop our national and international outreach. Greg brings new ideas, experience, professionalism and enthusiasm to help us grow to a whole new level.”

The Maritime Alliance is the 501c6 non-profit, cluster organizer of the San Diego ocean and water technology community. Its tag line is “Promoting BlueTech & Blue Jobs.”
