About: Maryland Sea Grant, part of the University System of Maryland, plays an important role in the network of organizations working to preserve and restore the Chesapeake Bay and Maryland’s coastal waters. We serve as a bridge between scientific expertise and the needs of people who manage, conserve, enjoy, and make their living from the Chesapeake Bay, America’s largest and most productive estuary. Our mission combines scientific research, education, and public outreach. Guided by our strategic plan, we work to develop sound ideas and practices that can enhance the Bay’s ecology as well as the businesses and jobs that depend on it. Working with a variety of partners, we act as an “honest broker” to spread science-based, useful, unbiased solutions to a wide audience.
