John Carey served as the sustainability coordinator for the Hawaiʻi Sea Grant for 12 years where he was involved in a broad range of activities directed at encouraging the acceptance of the principles of sustainability in coastal communities. He was instrumental in the creation of the Hawaiʻi Sea Grant Center for Smart Building and Community Design and is currently involved in helping to guide the development of the Center for Sustainable Coastal Tourism.

At the University of Hawaiʻi, Carey has promoted the development of case studies in sustainability for incorporation into the UH curriculum. The case studies focus on climate, water, energy, coastal ecology, and fisheries.
