Nikkie Cox
Restoration Administrator
From a young age going to the beach with her mother, Nikkie has always been intrigued with the underwater world. She received her bachelor’s degree in biological science from Florida State University with a focus on marine biology. She interned in the Florida Keys where she discovered scientific diving, which has become one of her passions. She knew she would be back to the Keys one day to help restore the reefs.
Nikkie is trained as an AAUS Scientific Diver and as a PADI Divemaster. She previously worked for the Georgia Aquarium as well as the State of Florida as an environmental specialist focusing on oyster and seagrass monitoring. During her free time, she enjoys diving as much as she can, spearing lionfish, traveling, and exploring the outdoors. She is thrilled to be a part of the CRF™ team to help restore coral reef ecosystems for future generations to enjoy.
