Description
Rhode Island Sea Grant funds natural- and social-science research to improve understanding and management of Rhode Island’s coastal and marine ecosystems. Its competitive omnibus research program runs on a two-year cycle, while Program Development funding supports smaller projects responding to emerging coastal and marine needs.
Research priorities are healthy coastal ecosystems, sustainable fisheries and aquaculture, and resilient communities and economies. Supported work addresses topics including coastal hazards, aquaculture, seafood safety, fisheries management, and how people use marine resources. Rhode Island Sea Grant connects research findings with stakeholders through extension agents, educators, and communications specialists to inform coastal and marine resource decisions.
