LEGAL RESEARCH
Legal Program attorneys contribute to the field of ocean and coastal law and policy through the analysis of current issues and the publication of their research results.

OUTREACH AND ADVISORY SERVICES
The staff of the Legal Program respond to research requests from the legal community, Sea Grant College Programs, and state and federal agencies located across the country.

EDUCATION AND TRAINING
Finally, the Program attorneys participate in continuing education programs, conferences, and symposia which serve to educate policy makers, practitioners and laypersons on issues of marine resources policy issues. Attorneys also train law students in the field of ocean and coastal law.

WHAT IS SEA GRANT?
Sea Grant is a partnership between the nation's universities and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) that began in 1966, when the U.S. Congress determined there was a unique opportunity to use university expertise to solve today's marine environmental problems. By funding universities in coastal and Great Lakes states through "sea grants", Congress created the National Sea Grant Program which now works with 30 state programs to encourage the wise stewardship of our marine resources through research, education, outreach and technology transfer.
