Sharing Knowledge for a Sustainable Future

The MIT Sea Grant Marine Advisory Services encompasses education, outreach, and extension services. We promote science, engineering, and ocean literacy by providing information, training programs, and educational programs. We work primarily in the areas of Fishing Communities, Ecosystem Health, and Education.

  • Preventing and tracking non-native species
  • Reducing coastal hazards
  • Fostering collaboration among regional scientists and managers
  • Developing programs for citizen science

Education

  • Bringing the latest science and technology out of the laboratory and into the hands of students, professionals, and the general public
  • Creating innovative, hands-on, K-12 educational programs
  • Providing intensive summer programs and internships for high-schoolers
