What is Sea Grant?

In 1963, Prof. Athelstan Spilhaus at the University ofMinnesota first suggested the idea of establishing Sea

Grant colleges in the universities that wished to developcoastal programs.

He drew parallels with the land-grant college systems,which he claimed was one of the best investments this

nation ever made.Sea Grant was founded in 1966.

A federal/state partnership

Sea Grant Mission

The mission of Sea Grant is to apply university-basedresearch and technologies to issues relating toresponsible use of coastal resources.

In this role, extension professionals serve as themessengers. They make sure that information generatedby the research community makes its way into the handsof those who need it.

Neutral brokers of Information. The Sea Grant Extensionideal is to be a neutral source of science-basedinformation.

Univ. of Wisconsin Sea Grant

Started in 1968, Wisconsin Sea Grant was program in the GreatLakes region and among the first programs in the nation.

Headquartered at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the

institute is housed in the Graduate School, Aquatic SciencesCenter.

WI Coastal GIS Applications Project

The Wisconsin Coastal GIS ApplicationsProject is a cooperative partnership betweenUW Sea Grant and the Land Information andComputer Graphics Facility at UW-Madison.

It started in 1995.Its mission is to teach the application ofgeospatial technologies to support sustainablemanagement of Great Lakes coastalresources.Leverages the $150M investment in theWisconsin Land Information Program.The primary audience has been local, regional,and state government professionals.

Coastal Natural Hazards

Coastal Recession Rate Mapping. As part of theLake Michigan Coastal Damages Study funded bythe U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, historical digital

orthophotos and current and historical mapping ofbluff tops and toes were developed for 7 counties.

Coastal Natural Hazards

Coastal Visualization. Information collectedabout coastal processes is often verytechnical in nature and difficult for coastal

landowners to understand. This projectintegrates animation, aerial photography,pictures, charts, and text to help the publicbetter understand coastal processes and theneed for development setbacks.
