Sea Grant College Program

The Sea Grant College Program is a nationwide network that connects universities with communities to support sustainable use and conservation of oceans, coasts, and Great Lakes. Funded by the federal government, it provides research, education, and outreach to address environmental, economic, and social challenges related to these waters. It helps develop scientific knowledge, informs policymakers, and promotes environmentally responsible practices among industries and local populations. Overall, Sea Grant works to ensure healthy, productive marine and freshwater systems that benefit both the environment and communities.
