The University of Georgia Marine Extension Service & Aquarium

For over 50 years, UGA Marine Extension and Georgia Sea Grant have been the state’s leading outreach and research organization dedicated to the sustainable use and stewardship of Georgia’s coastal resources. Through a dynamic blend of scientific research, community education, and on-the-ground extension programs, the organization empowers individuals, decision-makers, and agencies to make informed choices that protect and enhance coastal ecosystems.

As part of a federal-state partnership with NOAA’s National Sea Grant College Program, UGA Marine Extension and Georgia Sea Grant operate across multiple campuses—including Athens, Brunswick, and Skidaway Island—offering hands-on learning experiences, technical assistance, and innovative solutions to real-world challenges.
