Public Awareness and Service

2008-2022: Rountos has volunteered annually, each Winter, at the Bay Scallop Bowl, a regional high school competition of the National Ocean Sciences Bowl (NOSB) held in New York. He has served every role throughout his 15+ years of volunteering, starting as a Runner, then as Timekeeper, Scorekeeper, Rules Judge, Science Judge, and most recently, Moderator. He encourages young science professionals, including his students at SJC, to get involved and support this educational and fun event. you.stonybrook.edu/bayscallopbowl/

2016-2021: Rountos has volunteered annually, each Fall, at the Patchogue River Clean Up.

2011-2016: Rountos worked in various capacities with the Shinnecock Bay Restoration Program (ShiRP) in Southampton, NY. ShiRP is an initiative led by the scientists of the Institute for Ocean Conservation Science at Stony Brook University. The program aims to restore and conserve the ecosystems and resources in Shinnecock Bay. ShiRP organizes and hosts various restoration activities each year to encourage environmental awareness in our community. Rountos still collaborates with SBU and ShiRP, and his lab students at SJC have participated in various ShiRP activities and trawls. http://www.shinnecockbay.org/

2007-2008: While living in Greece for his Fulbright Fellowship, Rountos developed environmental education initiatives for students in various communities as well as local fishermen in port-cities throughout the country. www.fulbright.gr/alumni/us-alumni/alumni-speak/457-konstantine-john-rountos
