BATON ROUGE –
Thu Bui is the new Marine Extension agent in St. Mary, Iberia
and Vermilion parishes for Louisiana Sea Grant (LSG) and the
LSU AgCenter.
“Thu is resourceful
and makes a great addition to Sea Grant,” said Rex Caffey,
LSG Extension leader. “She grew up in a fishing family.
She’s worked in the fishing industry. And being fluent
in Vietnamese, she’ll help Sea Grant better serve the
Vietnamese fishing community.”
Bui earned a Bachelor

She served as assistant director for Gulf South Inc. in Intracoastal
City, and as an interpreter and bookkeeper for two fishing
vessels.
“I’m
excited about the opportunity to work with the fishing community
in this new role,” said Bui. “I want to provide
fishermen with programs that help them make the best decisions
possible.”
Bui can be reached
