Sea Grant Institutions

Sea Grant Institutions are university-based programs funded by the government that focus on the sustainable use and management of ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes resources. They conduct research, provide education, and offer advice to communities, industries, and policymakers to promote healthy, productive waterways and protect marine environments. These institutions facilitate partnerships between researchers and stakeholders, helping to address issues like pollution, overfishing, and climate change impacts, ensuring the long-term health of aquatic ecosystems and related livelihoods.
