Capt. Mark T. Hunzeker will be speaking in his personal capacity, about his personal experiences and views. He is not speaking on behalf of the Navy or acting as an official Navy representative.

His experience in practicing environmental law is related to training issues on Vieques Island, Puerto Rico, and litigation support on dozens of suits filed against the Navy there. Primary issues were NEPA compliance, Clean Water Act permits, ESA compliance, and RCRA/CERCLA issues. At Third Fleet, he also worked on implementing Navy policy to help ensure compliance with MMPA. While at Third Fleet, they were sued by NRDC over use of mid-frequency active sonar in the Navy’s RIMPAC exercise – Capt. Hunzeker worked to help settle the litigation and develop interim protection measures for marine mammals so that the exercise could continue.
