What is the purpose of Sea Grant Focus Teams?

Focus teams will help identify, coordinate and assess Sea Grant's activities in the focus areas described in the national plan. Similar to theme teams, focus area teams will:

  • Facilitate planning, implementation, synthesizing and reporting of Sea Grant activities and accomplishments in the identified focus areas.

  • Identify new opportunities and directions for national and regional initiatives.

  • Catalyze cooperative efforts among Sea Grant College Programs, the NSGO, NOAA, other agencies and NGOs.

  • Provide a mechanism to further solidify Sea Grant's local, regional and national identity.
