Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant Strategic Plan 2009-2013

摘要

Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant (IISG) is one of 32 college programs nationwide, and is dedicated to conducting research, education, and outreach to serve Lake Michigan's southern coast. With a mandate to bring the latest university-based science to those who need it, IISG brings together scientists, educators, policy makers, community decision makers, outreach specialists, business leaders, and the general public to work towards a sustainable environment and economy. Sea Grant addresses real issues facing our coasts, including: developing ecosystem-based approaches to resource management; supporting sustainable development; ensuring adequate, safe and sustainable seafood supplies; and preparing communities for the effects of climate change.
