Sea Grant programs in the Gulf of Mexico and Georgia help communities better understand how to create a Program for Public Information (PPI) and earn outreach points under the National Flood Insurance Program's Community Rating System (CRS). Points earned through the CRS help improve a community's rating and can lead to discounted flood insurance premiums.

The National Sea Grant Law Center is supporting the protection of aquatic ecosystems through a multi-state initiative that is transforming aquatic invasive species management in the western United States.

Attorneys working with Sea Grant programs undertake critical law and policy research, translate scientific information for policy makers, and contribute to policy discussions regarding the management of ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes resources on federal, state, and local levels. 

The National Sea Grant Law Center helped launch the Agricultural and Food Law Consortium, providing expertise on aquaculture, fisheries, seafood labeling, and more.
