Climate Ready Great Lakes Modules

December 5, 2014

Michigan Sea Grant

Climate Ready Great Lakes consists of three modules designed to help create a Great Lakes region that is “climate ready”. Toward this end, these modules provide stakeholders and decision makers with clear information about Great Lakes climate, as well as what we need to adapt to, why, and how. This project was a collaboration between the Great Lakes Sea Grant Network, the University of Michigan School of Natural Resources and Environment, and NOAA Great Lakes Regional Collaboration Team.

Sea Grant’s American Lobster Initiative awards $5.4 million to further innovative research and outreach in support of the lobster industry and fishing communities

Since 2019, Sea Grant’s American Lobster Initiative has addressed critical knowledge gaps about the American lobster and its fishery facing a dynamic and changing environment. The Initiative supports a regional extension program in the Northeast and a national research competition. Fifteen emerging research projects were selected in 2023 and 2024 for $4.6 million in federal funding by the NOAA National Sea Grant College Program. Coordinated by Maine Sea Grant since 2019, the Northeast lobster extension program was recently renewed with an $840,000 federal award that supports work through 2026.
