Description:The National Sea Grant mission to enhance appropriate use of our marine and Great Lakes coastal resources is carried out in New York by the New York Sea Grant Institute. The advisory service effort called for in Sea Grant enabling legislation is conducted in New York through Cooperative Extension; staff carrying forth that work are New York Cooperative Extension employees. The role of the Sea Grant Extension Program in New York is to carry out educational efforts that will help coastal residents, users and decision-makers resolve current and projected problems in developing and conserving coastal resources. To carry out this role, the Extension Program: - Transfers knowledge to persons who can use it to solve coastal problems. - Stimulates appropriate persons to apply this knowledge to solving problems. - Stimulates researchers to generate knowledge needed to solve coastal problems. The programs of Sea Grant Extension Specialists vary according to the needs in their geographic areas, but often problems are common to several regions and the nation at large. Following are situation statements describing major problems involving several regions. Long-term educational objectives to resolve such problems are noted. Programs of limited effort or duration have not been included.
