Wisconsin Sea Grant
Science for the sustainable use and conservation of the Great Lakes is at the heart of what we do, and it is part of our charge from Congress as one of 34 state-level Sea Grant programs nationwide. Wisconsin Sea Grant plays an important role in administering state, regional, and even national scale research projects. We administer grants, ensure compliance with all applicable regulations and track the progress of projects. Further, our communications staff shares information broadly about funded projects with a wide range of audiences—from professional communities of experts to the general public—so that audiences remain informed about important work. Outreach staff also share information with a wide variety of audiences. Current national priorities of the Sea Grant program are: healthy coastal ecosystems, sustainable fisheries and aquaculture, resilient communities and economies, and environmental literacy and workforce development. See below for details about grant opportunities.
