Sea Grant's unique position within major research universities provides us with an excellent opportunity to tap into the base of talented researchers in Illinois and Indiana.  In addition to furthering the understanding of our world, inquiry into and investigation of problems in the southern Lake Michigan basin directly benefits our constituents.  Through our applied research efforts, new technologies are developed which have wide-ranging impacts on the area's economy and quality of life.  We provide decision- and policy-makers and the public with the latest science-based information thus enhancing their ability to make informed choices.

We are particularly pleased that we have become affiliated with a number of institutions over a short time.  As our research program matures and develops, the Illinois-Indiana Sea grant body of researchers will continue to grow.
