What is Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant?

Posted January 14th, 2009 in News, Program

These are trying times for the environment. With climate change upon us, as well as a host of other concerns, such as population growth, invasive aquatic species, contaminated waters, and loss of natural habitat, the southern Lake Michigan region faces many challenges. Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant (IISG), with its unique mandate to bring the latest science to those who can best use the information, serves a critical role in empowering people to solve problems in sustainable ways.

One of more than 30 Sea Grant programs in the U.S., IISG is focused on southern Lake Michigan and Great Lakes concerns. The program is funded through NOAA, the University of Illinois, and Purdue University, but IISG also works in partnerships with key organizations, institutions, and agencies in the region to reach more audiences and multiply opportunities for success. IISG brings together scientists, educators, policy makers, community decision makers, outreach specialists, business leaders, and the general public to work towards a healthy environment and economy.
