Washington Sea Grant (WSG) is part of a national network aimed at research, education, and outreach activities related to marine and coastal environments. Funded by NOAA, it seeks to address urgent needs, develop emerging program areas, and strengthen marine sector collaborations through a federal-state partnership.
The grant program guided by WSG’s mission and values provides funding for conferences, workshops, and events that advance understanding and stewardship of marine and coastal ecosystems. With a focus on fostering sustainable management and enjoyment of marine resources, these sponsorships aim to support activities that align with WSG’s vision of thriving marine life and engaged communities. Funding amounts range from $50 to $2,500, with the possibility for larger amounts to be considered, targeting initiatives that cultivate partnerships and embody a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion in ocean and coastal issues management.
