Alaska Sea Grant is a collaboration between the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the University of Alaska Fairbanks and has been supporting healthy coastal resources, economies and communities in Alaska for over 50 years.

Alaska Sea Grant supports researchers and university graduate students contributing new knowledge about healthy coastal ecosystems, sustainable fisheries and resilient coastal communities. Alaska Sea Grant also recruits students into career-building national and state scholarships and fellowships in marine policy, fisheries population dynamics and other marine fields.

Our staff and Marine Advisory Program agents and specialists who live and work in Alaska’s coastal communities carry out this mission through research, education and outreach. Partnerships are at the heart of Alaska Sea Grant’s collaborative work to support communities statewide, and Alaska Sea Grant partners with at least 200 organizations. Thousands of adults and youth across the state attend workshops and presentations by Alaska Sea Grant each year.

As part of its education mission, Alaska Sea Grant supports marine literacy among K-12 teachers and students through curriculum and other learning resources and training. Alaska Sea Grant produces publications and website resources available via an online bookstore that help the public understand Alaska’s diverse marine ecosystem. Alaska Sea Grant also keeps scientists connected through community-based regional scientific conferences and symposia.
