Charlie Diamond's Latest Fish Story is His Best One Yet

Charlie Diamond's Latest Fish Story is His Best One Yet

Born and raised in Miami, Charlie would spend his childhood weekends in the Florida Keys with his family.

For college, his top choice was always UM, where he was a three-year letterman and starting tackle for the Hurricanes. Upon graduation, Diamond played in both the Canadian and American football leagues, including stints with the Dallas Texans and the Kansas City Chiefs. Today, he still enjoys fishing and diving in the Florida Keys. His love of fishing is reflected in his recent decision to support sustainable fishing by bequeathing his entire estate to the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science. His interest was initially piqued when he learned about the research going on at the Rosenstiel School.

Intrigued by the work, he visited the school and took a tour of the experimental fish hatchery. Environmental preservation is very important to Diamond, who believes the school is doing incredible work to ensure the safety and sustainability of fish populations around the globe.
