• SUPPORT: The NOAA Sea Grant College Program relies on federal funding and, unfortunately, the budget request for fiscal year 2026 proposes that the Sea Grant program is terminated. This funding is critical in providing science on vital coastal issues—such as improving water quality, sustainable fisheries, disaster preparedness, workforce development, and a thriving economy—to our coastal communities and businesses. Please consider supporting Sea Grant in two ways:
  • Contact your Congressional delegation directly to let them know how important Sea Grant is to you (you may easily reach your delegation here)
  • SIGN a letter of support that we will share with them.
