\nThe National Sea Grant College Program<\/a> was started 50 years ago in 1966. North Carolina Sea Grant<\/a> is joining in the national celebration, which runs through March 2017.<\/em><\/p>\n

North Carolina was an early participant in the multifaceted Sea Grant mission. After establishment by Congress in 1966, the national program\u2019s first research grants in 1968 included groundbreaking studies in ecology by Howard T. Odum of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Other early research included seafood studies by North Carolina State University scientists working with community partners. <\/em><\/p>\n

The complete North Carolina Sea Grant College Program \u2014 with robust research, extension, communications and education programs \u2014 was certified in 1976, and has continued its statewide function for 40 years. Learn more about early Sea Grant efforts in North Carolina in a <\/em>story<\/em><\/a> from a 2001 issue of <\/em>Coastwatch magazine.<\/em><\/p>\n

For 50 years, the National Sea Grant College program has worked to create and maintain a healthy coastal environment and economy, and to help citizens understand, conserve and better utilize America\u2019s coastal, ocean and Great Lakes resources.

March 2016 marks the start of Sea Grant\u2019s 50th anniversary year. In honor of the 50th anniversary, Sea\u00a0Grant is organizing a year of outreach efforts to highlight how Sea Grant has successfully been \u201cputting\u00a0science to work for America\u2019s coastal communities\u201d for 50 years. The goal of this campaign is to raise\u00a0awareness about the successful approach Sea Grant programs throughout the country use to apply\u00a0research and community engagement tactics in order to bring about positive impacts to coastal\u00a0communities in the areas of healthy coastal ecosystems, resilient communities and economies,\u00a0sustainable fisheries and aquaculture, and environmental literacy and workforce development.<\/p>\n

The Sea Grant model of directly engaging community members to identify pressing information and\u00a0research needs and then working with both scientists and the individuals who will put research to work\u00a0has been honed and perfected over the last 50 years, leading to countless stories of positive impacts.\u00a0Through the 50th anniversary campaign, Sea Grant aims to share these stories such that they may lead to\u00a0more research, more partnerships, and ultimately, more positive impacts for coastal communities.<\/p>\n

To focus outreach messages of the 50th anniversary year, Sea Grant is organizing its outreach into\u00a0monthly themes\u00a0that each highlights an area of focus for the program. In March 2016, the First 50 Years\u00a0will take a look back at the individuals and projects that have built the program as it is today. The Knauss\u00a0fellowship, graduate education, \u201ck to gray\u201d education, and workforce development themes will all\u00a0highlight a different aspect of Sea Grant\u2019s education and training functions. Water resources, climate,\u00a0and healthy coastal habitats are themes that will focus on Sea Grant\u2019s work in sustaining and restoring\u00a0healthy coastal ecosystems. The community resilience, sustainable development, aquaculture and\u00a0fisheries, and coastal tourism themes will highlight how Sea Grant works to ensure resilient coastal\u00a0communities and economies.<\/p>\n

The year will end in March 2017 with a month of looking ahead to the next\u00a050 years of Sea Grant and how the program might evolve to meet new challenges using its finely tuned\u00a0approach of community engagement paired with focused and applied research.<\/p>\n

Throughout the year, Sea Grant will share stories of positive impacts in local communities through web,\u00a0social media, and print outlets. Special events will be hosted and presentations made to highlight the\u00a0program\u2019s impacts. The Sea Grant network, Sea Grant Association, Sea Grant Advisory Board, and the\u00a0National Sea Grant Office are all participating in a coordinated and diverse approach to carrying out the\u00a0goals of this campaign.<\/p>\n
