  • Description:
    During 1998-2000, UW Sea Grant is supporting more than two dozen research, outreach, and education projects in nine thematic areas that address a host of issues and concerns: enhancing Great Lakes sport and commercial fisheries; improving freshwater aquaculture: analyzing the ecosystem effects of zebra mussels; exploring the potential of biotechnology and other advanced technologies for marine and Great Lakes applications; analyzing related socio economic issues and advising coastal communities and businesses; enhancing safety for recreational scuba divers; investigating the cycling of toxic contaminants in Great Lakes systems; and developing strategies for pollution remediation. The collapse of Lake Michigan's yellow perch fishery is receiving special attention from Sea Grant during the 1998-2000 biennium. The Illinois-​Indiana and Michigan Sea Grant programs have joined UW Sea Grant in funding a coordinated perch research program involving more than a half-dozen university scientists. Since its creation more than 30 years ago, Sea Grant has proven to be a sound investment. It has fostered scientific and technological developments essential to understanding, wisely using, and effectively managing the nation's marine and Great Lakes resources. Today, the established infrastructure of the national Sea Grant Network continues to transfer new technological and scientific insights from university laboratories to state, regional, and federal resource managers, the public, and industry.
