Sea Grant Colleges

Sea Grant Colleges are university-based programs in the United States dedicated to supporting coastal, marine, and Great Lakes communities. Funded by the federal government through NOAA, these institutions conduct research, provide education, and offer resources to help manage and protect water-based environments. They work on issues like fisheries, pollution, climate change, and safe seafood practices, aiming to promote sustainable use of maritime resources. By connecting science and local communities, Sea Grant Colleges help improve environmental health and economic vitality along our coastlines.
