TOOLS & RESOURCES

VALUE-BASED DESIGN

We develop new technologies and tools for partners, providing access to data and products that play an integral role in decision-making and public outreach. Our close collaboration with stakeholders acts as a framework for ensuring value-based design.

MIT Sea Grant has a rich history of technical innovation in coastal management, and we are eager to establish new relationships with partners through the development of tools for aquaculture, outreach, coastal adaption, risk assessment, and habitat restoration.
