National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS)-Sea Grant Partnership Meeting
In January, members of the NMFS Science Board, national Sea Grant leadership, and several Sea Grant state program directors met to discuss the status of the NMFS-Sea Grant partnership at the national, regional and local levels. Participants discussed progress since the last bilateral meeting in 2003, with discussions focused on national level activities such as the NMFS-Sea Grant Joint Graduate Fellowship programs in population dynamics and marine resource economics, and the biennial special fishery symposium series with the American Fisheries Society. Participants discussed how these activities might dovetail with new regional initiatives for NOAA and Sea Grant. The partnership has resulted in high quality, collaborative work around the country, including research projects, outreach and extension initiatives, and special local partnership projects. Periodic meetings will help further strengthen and enhance the long-standing partnership between NMFS and Sea Grant.
