Description:California Sea Grant is moving in a fundamentally new strategic direction for 2006-2010. In recognition of recent changes in coastal resource conditions and marine policies, our program's activities will now be structured around five new integrated themes. These new themes should not be viewed as extreme departures from our traditional research, outreach and educational priorities. Rather, they represent a refocusing of our approach-a new framework for how we organize our programmatic objectives. These themes, we believe, more strategically align us with anticipated challenges and opportunities in the marine realm and position us to respond more nimbly to unexpected ones.

They more fully emphasize the importance of marine stewardship and the vulnerability of marine resources to human activities. Lastly, we continue to place a high priority on education, in the many forms that this can take, and its incomparable value. In 2006, we also begin a new interdisciplinary research and education program-"Focused Research & Outreach Initiative"-that will concentrate expertise on a single, important emerging topic. We are also pleased to announce a new partnership with the California Ocean Protection Council that will allow us to expand our research portfolio and enhance our partnership with the University of Southern California (USC) Sea Grant Program.
