California Sea Grant College Program
California's spectacular and diverse coastal resources provide recreation and livelihoods for thousands of people each year. California Sea Grant sponsors marine research, extension services, and education activities to support the management, conservation, and enhancement of those resources for the benefit of current and future generations. We invite you to explore our website to learn more about California's coastal resources and our programs.
The largest of the 31 Sea Grant programs, California Sea Grant draws on the talents of scientists and engineers at public and private universities throughout the state. It is administered by the University of California and is based at Scripps Institution of Oceanography in San Diego.
Through the research it sponsors, the Program contributes to the growing body of knowledge about coastal and marine resources and helps solve contemporary marine-related problems.
Through its Extension and Communications components, California Sea Grant transfers information and technology developed in its research efforts to industry, government and the public.
The marine advisors and specialists form a direct link for two-way communication between the university, industry, and the public.
California Sea Grant supports graduate education by funding trainees to work with marine scientists and engineers on a wide range of topics.
Projects are selected on the basis of competitive, peer-reviewed proposals and address a wide range of problems and opportunities. The following pages provide summaries of the new and continuing projects funded by California Sea Grant. Further information on any of these projects is available by contacting the California Sea Grant offices or visiting the research pages of this website.
