National Sea Grant Library

The National Sea Grant Library (NSGL) is the digital library and official archive for NOAA Sea Grant documents. It is the only comprehensive collection of Sea Grant–funded documents from over 30 programs and projects across the country. This collection encompasses a wide variety of subjects, including oceanography, marine education, aquaculture, fisheries, aquatic nuisance species, coastal hazards, seafood safety, limnology, coastal zone management, marine recreation, and law.

The NSGL provides global access to over 15,000 full-text digital documents through the 40,000–record, searchable publications database. For those documents that aren't available electronically (including videos and DVDs), or for those patrons without high-speed internet access, the NSGL will be happy to provide hardcopy loans (worldwide) to aid scientists, teachers, students, fishermen, and others in their research and studies.
