Science Serving Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania Sea Grant makes science accessible, timely, and relative for any audience
Welcome
Pennsylvania Sea Grant’s mission is to enhance the use and conservation of Pennsylvania’s coastal, marine, and Great Lakes resources to create a healthy environment, resilient communities, and a strong and sustainable economy.
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, other Sea Grant programs, and individuals and organizations to build bridges between science and people. Learn more about our program.
