Activities
Program management: program decision-making; management of the program and staff program development: provide sea grant management with the flexibility to assist with relevant and timely work, allow for project development, and provide rapid response to time-sensitive problems. Communications: develop multi-modal forms of communication to ensure our research, extension, and education work reaches broad and diverse communities. Extension: connect science to local communities to solve our most pressing urban ocean problems and support informed decision-making. Education: connect science to local and diverse communities to advance scientific and environmental literacy and education among urban residents. Sea grant graduate student trainee program: support graduate students working with principal investigators whom we fund. Competitively selected projects: fund innovative, state-of-the-art research that provides natural resource managers and coastal communities with new information and tools to improve decision-making.
Expected outcomes
Coastal and watershed habitats, ecosystems, and the services they provide are protected, enhanced, and/or restored. Land, water, and living resources are managed by applying science, tools, and services to sustain resilient coastal and watershed ecosystems. Coastal and watershed communities have the capability and resources to prepare for and adapt to extreme and chronic weather and coastal hazards, climate change, economic disruptions, and other threats to community health and well-being. Water resources are enhanced, sustained, and protected to meet existing and emerging needs of the communities and economies, and biodiverse ecosystems that depend on them. Domestic fisheries, aquaculture, and other coastal and freshwater living resources supply food, jobs, and economic and cultural benefits. Natural resources are sustainably managed to support coastal communities and working waterfronts, including commercial, recreational, subsistence fisheries, and aquaculture. A diverse, environmentally literate public participates in lifelong formal, and nonformal learning opportunities. A diverse, skilled, and environmentally literate workforce that is engaged and able to build prosperous lives and livelihoods in a changing world through traditional and innovative careers.
