National Sea Grant College Program

The National Sea Grant College Program is a U.S. federal initiative that supports the study and management of coastal and marine resources. Established in 1966, it connects universities, communities, and policymakers to foster research, education, and outreach focused on ocean and coastal issues. By promoting sustainable practices, the program helps to protect marine environments while enhancing economic opportunities in coastal regions. Sea Grant also helps scientists communicate their findings effectively to ensure that communities benefit from research on issues like climate change, fisheries management, and habitat conservation.
