The University of Hawai‘i Sea Grant College Program (Hawai‘i Sea Grant) conducts an innovative program of research, outreach, and education services toward the improved understanding and stewardship of coastal and marine resources of the state, region, and nation. Through these activities we serve those who live, work, and recreate in coastal communities in Hawai‘i and the Pacific Region.

Hawai‘i Sea Grant is one of 34 Sea Grant College Programs nationwide that comprise a network within our nation’s coastal and Great Lakes universities and colleges, promoting unbiased, evidenced-based understanding, conservation, and sustainable use of marine and coastal resources.

As an organized research unit of the University of Hawai‘i’s prestigious School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology, and with core funding provided by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Hawai‘i Sea Grant engages and connects academia, federal, state and local government, industry, and the local community with excellence in research, outreach, and education.
