Across the U.S., Sea Grant supports coastal marine & Great Lakes communities through research, extension & education. It touches our lives in so many ways.

20 years ago, I arrived in DC to work on #science policy as a marine biologist & Knauss Fellow through the Maine Sea Grant under NOAA.

The experience fundamentally changed my career path by providing a chance to work in Congress & focus on the intersections of science, politics & society.

The U.S. government just axed Maine Sea Grant.
