RESILIENT COMMUNITIES & ECONOMIES

COMMUNITY-BASED DECISION-MAKING

MIT Sea Grant brings together public agencies and stakeholders in an effective adaptation and management planning process. We inform communities, the aquaculture industry, and state, federal and local management authorities regarding impacts to local communities, coastal resources, and economies.

Coastal development and increased coastal erosion has brought runoff, sedimentation, nutrients, contaminants, and degradation of habitats. We apply cutting-edge technology and research in the areas of coastal hazards, hurricane forecasting, energy, climate change, ocean acidification, stormwater management, and tourism.
