Alaska Sea Grant Research
Alaska Sea Grant is charged by Congress to conduct scientific research that enhances the wise use and conservation of our coastal, marine, and fisheries resources.
To that end, Alaska Sea Grant funds research through academic institutions, government and nongovernmental groups, industry and others, with the overall goal of creating knowledge about social and economic aspects of Alaska's seas and coasts, seafood science, fish genetics, and shellfish aquaculture. For information on research recently funded by Alaska Sea Grant, please see our project directory or browse our research project database.
