Description
UH Sea Grant carries out its mission through research, education and extension by focusing on five focus areas. These five interrelated focus areas emerged from the national, regional and local strategic planning process as areas of critical importance to the health and vitality of Hawaii’s coastal resources and communities. They respond to issues of major importance to NOAA, are consistent with the work of the NOAA coastal program integration effort, and are topical areas in which Sea Grant has made substantial contributions in the past and is positioned to make significant contributions in the future. The UH Sea Grant focus areas from its 2009-2013 Strategic Plan include: 1. Healthy Coastal Ecosystems 2. Sustainable Coastal Development 3. Hazard Resilience in Coastal Communities 4. Safe and Sustainable Seafood Supply 5. Sustainable Coastal Tourism
