Sea Grant Illinois-Indiana
A guidebook to help program and event planners ensure accessibility and inclusion are a part of outreach and educational programs.
This strategic plan for 2018-2023 lays out IISG goals and outcomes in three National Sea Grant focus areas: Healthy Coastal Ecosystems, Resilient Communities and Economies, Sustainable Fisheries and Aquaculture, and Environmental Literacy and Workforce Development, .
Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant’s annual magazine.
The brochure is an overview of what a fish producer thinking about small-scale fish processing needs to know. The overview includes training requirements, available facilities and highlights of select farmers who have gone through the process.
Learn about aquatic pollution by hearing directly from the people doing the research. From the field to the lab, UpClose takes you behind the scenes with the scientists working to make sense of this complicated topic.
