Minnesota Sea Grant

With nearly 12,000 lakes and a coast on the world's largest body of fresh water, Minnesota possesses a bounty of aquatic and coastal resources. Through scientific research and public education programs, Minnesota Sea Grant works to enhance Minnesota’s coastal environment and economy.

Minnesota Sea Grant is a systemwide program of the University of Minnesota, with offices on the Duluth and St. Paul campuses.
