Sea Grant seeks to educate future environmental professionals and leaders and to enhance marine and aquatic science literacy among the general public of the United States.

Sea Grant Educators Network

The Sea Grant Educators Network operates both locally and as a national force, providing highly respected marine and aquatic science education nationwide and partnering (links to partnerships page) with other national education efforts. The common goal of all Sea Grant programs is to provide educators with insights into contemporary marine and aquatic science issues and research, and to also provide strategies to bring this information to their students.

The Sea Grant network offers a variety of programs and resources in marine and aquatic sciences for K-12 students and teachers, undergraduate and graduate students and the general public. These include publications, workshops, conferences, summer internships, informal education for the general public, radio programs, websites, videos and other electronic media on topics ranging from coastal ecosystems to marine biotechnology. The Sea Grant Educators Network offers a variety of resources for students and teachers.
