  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate 
Griff Lynch on his induction into the International Maritime Hall of 
Fame.
  Mr. Lynch has been in the terminal operations industry for 34 years, 
leaving his mark on many ports along the East Coast. He currently 
serves as executive director of the Georgia Ports Authority, leading 
1,800 employees in Savannah, Brunswick, Bainbridge, and Chatsworth.
  Mr. Lynch carries a great passion for his team and community, 
prioritizing motivation and support for those who work with him. Under 
his leadership, the Georgia Ports Authority team has continuously 
broken cargo volume records, leading them to be recognized as one of 
the most successful ports in the country.
