Who We Are

The College of Earth, Ocean and Environment and the Sea Grant Marine Advisory Service (MAS). The mission of Marine Advisory Service is to foster the wise use, conservation, and development of marine resources by acting as a conduit between researchers and a variety of citizen users, from coastal resource managers to business owners. Representative: Jim Falk
