(Washington, DC) -- We are learning the next career step for the former Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management director. Janet Coit has been picked to fill an administrative position leading the federal agency NOAA Fisheries, which is under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Department of Commerce. That means Coit will once again be working for Gina Raimondo, the former Rhode Island governor who is now the Commerce Secretary. Raimondo says Coit is a tremendous addition to the NOAA team, with experience supporting fisheries and protecting the marine environment, among other things.
