Sea Grant’s Distinction
The USC Sea Grant Program was recently awarded top national honors by a
program assessment team sent to evaluate the program. The panel from
the National Sea Grant College Program and the National Sea Grant
Office gave the USC program “highest performance” marks on 14 out of 15
rankings ranging from leadership of the program to contributions to
education and outreach.
Founded in 1972, the USC Sea Grant program focuses exclusively on problems of the “Urban Ocean.”
“The high ratings facilitate the program’s ability to pursue additional
federal or merit funding,” says Linda Duguay, director of the program.
“This funding will serve to increase the size and stature of our
program and position us well among future competitors.”
