New Manager for Indian River Marina

DNREC's Division of Parks and Recreation has named a new manager for the Indian River Marina. Theresa A. Mosier will start her new job on July 28, 2008. Her appointment comes after a two month search to replace Kenneth Farrall, Regional Administrator for Delaware Seashore State Park, who has also served as interim manager of the marina for the past year and a half.

Mosier has extensive experience in all phases of marina management and operations. For the past two years, she has served as manager of Broad Creek Fishing Center and Marina in Outer Banks, N.C., which is similar in size of operation and capacity. Before that, she served as Dock Master at the Ocean City Fishing Center in Ocean City, Md.

"We are so fortunate to have Theresa Mosier on board at Indian River Marina," said Parks Director Charles Salkin. "With her background and experience, she can hit the ground running. Her skills and experience are unique and will enable her to assume full management responsibility from day one."

Currently at Broad Creek Fishing Center and Marina, Mosier oversees all operations, including wet slips, transients, dry stack storage facilities, head and charter boat operations, retail sales, fuel sales,
concession operations, marketing, development and promotion of fishing tournaments and other special events, and implementing the facility's Clean Marina program.

Mosier says she's excited about coming back to Delaware. "I grew up spending my summers in Lewes, and I'm looking forward to settling back home and beginning a new and exciting career at Indian River Marina," Mosier said. "I know my marina skills and knowledge will add to the great staff and continue the success and growth of Indian Marina".

Indian River Marina includes 274 wet slips, a dry stack storage building with 156 berths and two staging docks, a public boat ramp, 12 ADA-accessible cottages, head and charter operations, a bait and tackle and fish cleaning operation, a retail ship store, fuel sales and more. The facility is in the final stage of a five-year, multi-million dollar capital re-development project as finishing touches are put on the marina's new administration building.
