The Honorable Norm Mineta was an inspiration and a true leader on so many issues of importance to this nation, and I was greatly honored to have the opportunity to recognize his leadership on ocean stewardship in particular. Back in 2014, when I was President and CEO of the National Marine Sanctuary Foundation -- the private non-profit partner of the National Marine Sanctuary System, and the host of Capitol Hill Ocean Week and the Ocean Awards Gala -- I presented the Foundation's Lifetime Achievement Award to both Norm Mineta and Bill Ruckelshaus for their work as co-chairs of the Joint Ocean Commission Institute. Mr. Mineta accepted the award on behalf of Mr. Ruckelshaus and himself, and as always, was warm and gracious and humble, but ever passionate and dedicated and sharp, in his remarks. It was a most memorable evening and stands out as a highlight of the many award ceremonies we had over the years. A true honor to recognize a true hero of the world.
Here is the video we prepared in honor of Mr. Mineta and Mr. Ruckelshaus, which celebrated both their many achievements over their illustrious careers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9NK3yJ1SdY
Here is a wonderful interview of Mr. Mineta and Mr. Ruckelshaus together as part of the awards ceremony: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vl7Y6U7GzQ0
And here is Mr. Mineta's acceptance speech: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DjVxCgxYdI&t=469s
