About Pennsylvania Sea Grant
Building Bridges Between Science and People
Pennsylvania Sea Grant is supported by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the Pennsylvania State University. 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 and inclusive 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.

Strategic Plan
Getting from point A to point B takes strategic planning, thoughtful review, and creative collaboration. Pennsylvania Sea Grant’s four-year plan informs research requests for proposals, outreach topics, and education activities. The strategic plan aligns with the four focus areas established by the National Sea Grant College Program. These focus areas are healthy coastal ecosystems, resilient communities and economies, environmental literacy and workforce development, and sustainable fisheries and aquaculture.
