Since 1976, the Delaware Sea Grant College Program (DESG) has worked to promote the wise use, conservation, and management of marine and coastal resources through highquality research, education, and outreach activities that benefit the public and our environment. Our motto is “Science Serving the Delaware Coast,” and to achieve that goal we operate as a fully integrated Sea Grant program where top-quality research supports a broad range of education and outreach efforts that in turn help to identify new research needs.In Delaware and within our national networks our Sea Grant program is recognized as a leading neutral, science-based organization, backed by the strength and reputation of the University of Delaware. Our team provides research and outreach leadership and support to address environmental and policy challenges across our state and region. We identify and leverage federal and private funding, forge partnerships, and facilitate public engagement to identify pressing societal issues and work toward solutions.
