Judy Halas owns and manages ENVIRONMENTAL MOORINGS INTERNATIONAL, Inc., a small business located in Key Largo, Florida. In 1981, Judy's husband, John Halas, now Manager for the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary-Upper Region, developed a mooring buoy anchoring system that has proved extremely effective in preventing anchor damage to coral reefs. Increasing demand for installation equipment and mooring materials encouraged the formation of a business to provide environmental moorings which were soon being installed and used world-wide. Judy and John have since travelled around the globe helping many countries install mooring systems.
For 22 years, until she resigned to run her business, Judy was a high school teacher of English, science, and social studies in the Florida school system mainly at Coral Shores High School in the Upper Keys. In 1972, Judy was certified as a NAUI diver. She and her husband owned a dive shop and ran dive charter trips for many years. She has formerly been a NOAA equivalent diver and as such has participated in official NOAA projects. She is also a PADI certified Divemaster and a U.S. Coast Guard licensed ocean operator (boat captain).
Judy has participated in marine archaeological recoveries and researched shipwrecks in the Florida Keys. She is also an accomplished folksinger who specializes in ballads and sea songs. She was a columnist for the Miami Herald, writing a series of articles about diving and the Florida Keys marine environment. Judy co-authored "PISCES: DIVING AND SNORKELING GUIDE TO THE FLORIDA KEYS" with her husband John and Don Kincaid. Judy is an SSI Platinum Pro diver and is listed in WHO'S WHO IN SCUBA DIVING published by the Academy of Marine Sciences and Undersea Research. She is a long time member of the Board of Directors of Sanctuary Friends Foundation of the Florida Keys.
