Intro to Sea Grant

The focus of Oregon Sea Grant Extension is more than the sea. Extension specialists spread the word about watershed health and coastal issues in Oregon. Extension specialists help Oregonians take care of their watery landscapes. The Extension Watershed Education team helps people improve their own watersheds through programs, including weekend water school, which focuses on water and watershed education. And the Master Watershed Steward program extends research-based information on watershed health to help those interested in developing community watershed projects.
