The Maryland Sea Grant Extension Program
Dr. Doug Lipton is the PI. Funding: $320,000 per year federal (NOAA). The Sea Grant Extension Program, in partnership with the 3 marine labs of the University System of Maryland (Horn Point Environmental Lab, Chesapeake Bay Lab and Center of Marine Biotechnology) provides educational and outreach related to Chesapeake Bay and coastal restoration. Many of the activities related to aquaculture, aquatic plant and pond management, coastal land use and water quality are documented elsewhere in this report. Sea Grant Extension is also actively engaged and plays a leadership role within the Chesapeake Bay Program. Currently, Sea Grant Extension Program Leader, Doug Lipton, is Chair of the Scientific and Technical Advisory Committee for the Chesapeake Bay Program. Sea Grant is also leading an effort to develop ecosystem based fisheries management plans for Chesapeake Bay. Sea Grant Extension has also just been awarded $620,000 related to Emergency Disaster Relief funding for the crab processing industry in Maryland. These funds will be used to develop processes for the production of high-valued seafood from Maryland’s Chesapeake Bay fisheries.
