Description:Most of Florida’s 20 million residents live just a short drive from the coast. Another 97 million tourists are drawn to the state every year for its bountiful ocean resources. With so many in close proximity to such economically valuable property and sensitive natural environments, the challenges are great, as are the opportunities. Every research, education and extension project Florida Sea Grant conducts provides science-based solutions to assist in developing and managing the state’s ocean potential. We tap into the expertise of scientists at 18 Florida universities and labs. Through a partnership with the Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences at the University of Florida, we provide technical assistance to communities, businesses, resource managers and residents. In recent years we have expanded our programs with local governments and partners in the private sector, matching federal funding with dollar-for-dollar contributions. We invite you to read these stories of success, and learn how our innovative program directly supports outcomes that conserve and sustain the precious ocean and coastal resources of Florida.
