Marcye brings these same values to Sea in the City. She is dedicated to providing customers with aquarium specimens that are ethically caught, tank raised or grown in Sea in the City’s own on-site farm. She is a certified scuba diver and loves snorkeling Florida’s west coast. Tom is employed as a project manager and design coach at Best Plumbing and Remodeling based out of Oviedo, a company he helped build with sons Craig, Rusty and Derick. He has been involved in plumbing and home remodeling for 37 years and brings to Sea in the City an abundance of knowledge that sets us apart from most companies in the area of tank installations. He is a master of flow dynamics after years of working with everything from home plumbing to large commercial projects that required moving water several stories high. Tom worked as a project manager at both Yale and Johns Hopkins Universities overseeing Electronic Plumbing uses in the Medical Field. When installing tanks, Tom “hard plumbs” our larger systems rather than just attaching hoses and tubes. He employs various plumbing features that include valves to allow flow regulation, quick disconnects to allow for easier maintenance and designs adjustable dursos that can be “tuned” for better flow and less noise.He is a former Board Member for the Central Florida Better Business Bureau, a role reserved for top businessmen in the area who show strong ethical business practices.

Chris comes to Sea in the City from the Big Apple…New York! He definitely had some different challenges in aquarium maintenance! Individual fisherman and collector groups operate differently around the globe. Few are non-native professional fisherman working independently, collecting, holding, and exporting their own catch. Some are indigenous peoples who have become professional tropical fisherman and work directly for exporters, catching fish on a daily basis, working consistently weather and demand allowing. More are native coastal villagers, men, women and children alike, who sell their catch directly to an exporter. Most, however, work in remote outposts, living in coastal communities or roving the seas by boat, fishing for sustenance and catching or collecting species for the ornamental trade, selling their catch onward to middle men, who in turn market these products upwards into the chain of distribution. There are countless models and variations to the basic theme, but in the end, desirable species are collected most often by indigenous people and sold onward until they are ultimately exported to consuming countries. The pace at which this process occurs and the duration of transit times and the types of handling and conditions many of these organisms endure is staggering. Quality Marine supports the most sustainably harvested and managed collection sites and sources animals from collector groups rather than middlemen wherever possible. This philosophy helps to reduce transit times to a matter of hours or days, rather than weeks. Shorter supply chains and fewer middlemen eliminate inconsistent levels of care, reduce stress in animals, increase survivability and decrease pressure on marine habitats. In employing our SSC terminology, we are identifying the animals which come to us from our shortest supply chains, reaching the point of export from the point of collection within 24 hours.
