Information Dissemination

It is essential that research and educational results be presented in formats that can reach a range of audiences from fellow scientists to policy makers to the lay public.

Texas Sea Grant

Texas Sea Grant is dedicated to the wise use and conservation of our valuable marine resources. The program supports university research and also has significant activities in outreach through the Marine Information Service (MIS) and the Marine Advisory Service (MAS).

The MIS is the communications arm of the Texas Sea Grant College Program. It is charged with delivering the latest information about marine science, technology and pressing issues to the people who can best use it — people interested in the wise use and preservation of the Gulf Coast. The MIS uses a variety of products to spread information, including the award-winning Texas Shores magazine, CD-ROMs, maps, books, conference proceedings and other publications.

MAS, along with the MIS, is charged with putting the latest information about marine science and technology into the hands of Texans and others interested in the Gulf Coast.  MAS agents and specialists work with fishermen, government agencies and non-government agencies, boaters, the business community, and the person on the street in one-on-one interactions and through workshops and other types of meetings.
