Description
The Resources Agency Sea Grant Advisory Panel (RASGAP), convened by the California Ocean Protection Council (OPC), provides essential state funding to match federal Sea Grant support for research that addresses California’s coastal and ocean management and policy priorities. RASGAP is legislatively mandated and includes representatives from various state agencies, academia, industry, and legislative bodies. The panel collaborates closely with California Sea Grant and USC Sea Grant, ensuring funded projects are aligned with the state’s management needs and policy objectives. Research supported by RASGAP is intended to directly benefit California’s people and advance the stewardship, resilience, and sustainable use of marine and coastal resources.
