The University of Hawai‘i Sea Grant College Program (UH Sea Grant) Advisory Council is charged with providing valuable guidance and input to the program. The Council is comprised of a diverse group of stakeholders representing institutional leaders, key government agencies at the state and federal level, important marine-related industries, and educational and nongovernmental organizations. One of its essential roles is to evaluate the programmatic fit of proposals submitted for possible funding. This insures that UH Sea Grant is a responsive, highly efficient, inclusive program that provides strong contributions to research, outreach and education throughout Hawai‘i and the Pacific.
