Oregon Sea Grant - What is Sea Grant? (397 words) |
 | Fanning out from the central campus of Oregon State University in Corvallis, Oregon Sea Grant faculty and staff work the length of the coast and along the Columbia River, from county offices of the OSU Extension Service, at the Hatfield Marine Science Center in Newport, and at the OSU Seafood Lab in Astoria. |
 | Sea Grant also manages the HMSC Visitor Center, and its marine education programs, as part of a broader marine education focus that includes graduate and undergraduate fellowships, an Aquarium Science associate degree program, and a new Free-Choice Learning Initiative that seeks to learn more about how people learn outside the classroom. |
 | Through its parent agency, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Oregon Sea Grant is part of a nationwide network of Sea Grant programs with whom we often collaborate on projects of regional and national importance. |
