Michigan Sea Grant
Michigan’s coasts and the Great Lakes are a dynamic ecosystem with fluctuating water levels, many species of fish, birds, plants and other wildlife, and a wide variety of habitat types. A large boating community, commercial and recreational fisheries, and rapid development along Michigan’s coasts all present challenges for the ecosystem.
Michigan Sea Grant addresses these issues through research, education and outreach, in partnership with a variety of organizations.
