Welcome to the On My Coast podcast, where we will be sharing the stories of people on America’s coasts, whose experiences and challenges have inspired and been the focus of Sea Grant’s work for over 50 years. The National Sea Grant College Program, or Sea Grant, is a Federal-University partnership program that brings science together with communities for solutions that work. It was originally created through an act of Congress in 1966 and the state and national programs work together with community partners to create and maintain a healthy coastal environment and economy.
