About Us

Rhode Island Sea Grant is one of 34 programs in the National Sea Grant College Program.

We are a state-based program with federal funding from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and are based at the University of Rhode Island Graduate School of Oceanography.

We work with coastal communities in the Ocean State to ensure access to the best available science and that everyone has a seat at the table to build long-term, sustainable solutions.

The most resilient communities are those that work together.

“Rhode Island’s coastal habitat and fisheries are an essential part of our culture and economy.  The University of Rhode Island is a national leader in ocean research and conservation, and the Sea Grant program has been a vital partner in carrying out cooperative research and strengthening our coastal communities. ”
