About Us
Texas Sea Grant is dedicated to the wise use and conservation of
our valuable marine resources. The program supports university research
and also has significant activities in marine education and outreach
through the Marine Information Service (MIS)
and the Marine Advisory Service (MAS).
Texas Sea Grant is headquartered in College Station and is part
of the College of Geosciences at Texas A&M University. Texas
A&M was designated a Sea Grant College in 1971, becoming one
of the first four state programs established under the National
Sea Grant College Act of 1966. Faculty at institutions throughout
the state of Texas who have expertise in the marine environment
are eligible to submit research proposals.
Support for the program comes from the Federal government through
the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, from the Texas
legislature and from Texas A&M University.
