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.

The  National Sea Grant Law Center and partners recently embarked on an innovative project that is bringing together individuals from three professional communities that rarely interact – Assistant Attorneys General, law enforcement personnel, and aquatic invasive species coordinators to improve management of the primary vector for the spread of aquatic invasive species, the trailered boat.
