Outreach
Connecting People to Resources
Pennsylvania Sea Grant outreach staff live and work in the communities they serve, meeting the need and connecting people to the latest Great Lakes, coastal, and watershed science and resources. Our goals are to help communities live sustainably today and well into the future.
Using the latest scientific research, our outreach staff help inform practical solutions to problems that affect the state and region. The result is tailored programming and resources that share science and solutions that anyone can relate to.
Outreach Topics
Within each topic area you can access our current projects and corresponding resources, many of which are available for download.
Featured Projects
Aquaponics Workshop
As part of Sea Grant’s commitment to advancing both education and sustainable aquaculture, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Ohio Sea Grant hosted a one-and-a-half-day workshop for educators, to learn the ins and outs of aquaculture and aquaponics.
Aquatic Invasive Species Workshops
Pennsylvania Sea Grant hosts professional development workshops throughout the year to engage natural resource professionals and watershed volunteers in learning about aquatic invasive species (AIS). AIS threaten native species, ecosystems, and the Pennsylvania economy. Being able to recognize and identify AIS in the field is a critical first step in responding to an infestation and stopping the species from spreading to a new location.
