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 graduate students who contribute new knowledge about healthy coastal ecosystems, sustainable fisheries and resilient coastal communities. Alaska Sea Grant also connects students into career-building national and state 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 work to support communities statewide, with collaborations involving more than 200 organizations. Each year, thousands of adults and youth across the state participate in Alaska Sea Grant workshops and presentations.

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 online resources available through an online bookstore that help the public understand Alaska’s marine ecosystem. The program also connects scientists and communities through regional scientific conferences and symposia.
