Science Serving Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania Sea Grant makes science accessible, timely, and relative for any audience
Welcome
Making Science Accessible
Welcome to Pennsylvania Sea Grant! We strive to make science available and accessible for everyone.
Our mission is to enhance the practical use and conservation of natural resources for a healthy environment, resilient communities, and strong, sustainable economies. The work happens in watersheds within the Great Lakes and Mid-Atlantic regions, led by staff in Erie, Harrisburg, and Philadelphia. We partner with decision-makers, academic institutions, Sea Grant programs, and individuals and organizations to build bridges between science and people. Learn more about our program.
We continue to review and refresh our resources to ensure they meet accessibility standards. Contact us if you cannot find a resource or need assistance.
