Coastal and marine resources are experiencing unprecedented stresses. Development and population growth along the coast, changes to commercial fishing and aquaculture industries, rising sea levels and increasing flood risk, habitat degredation and invasive species all threaten our nation’s coastlines.

Rhode Island Sea Grant works to address these issues through integrated research, extension, and education to provide the best available science and ensure community engagement across the Ocean State to build long-term, sustainable solutions for our coastal and marine resources.
