More Sea Grant Impacts The Issue: Many of our nation’s marine and Great Lakes fisheries are in trouble in that fishery landings have reached the maximum capacity to produce fish.

Sea Grant: Sea Grant researchers and outreach specialists are part of the solution—they are uniquely situated to promote collaborations on subjects critical to decisions being made by fisheries managers on a variety of topics. These topics range from stock assessment, habitat and ecosystem health, environmental contamination, to conflict resolution among many others. In addition, Sea Grant research and extension can provide fisheries managers with the socioeconomic data and analyses necessary to manage fisheries using techniques that will allow for adequate economic returns, protect fish stock size, harvest at sustainable yields, and minimize the impacts on fishermen.
