Resilient coastal communities, sustainable economic development, and forward-thinking resource management  


Achieving these goals requires close collaboration between community leaders, local businesses, state agencies, environmental scientists, and individual stakeholders. Delaware Sea Grant helps to realize this cooperation by identifying stakeholder needs, bringing expertise and leadership to bear on complex coastal issues, and offering financial support to galvanize innovative solutions. Our work results in long-term partnerships and trust that directly benefit Delaware's coast and its people.
