About us
At Michigan Sea Grant, we adore the Great Lakes. These five lakes and their connecting rivers make up the planet's largest body of fresh water. They provide drinking water for millions of people, span an international border, sustain billions of dollars of economic activity every year -- and they're stunningly beautiful. That's why we've been working diligently since 1969 to help people around Michigan understand and love the Great Lakes. We leverage our broad network of partner organizations to : - Support and coordinate research projects at Michigan universities to help answer pressing questions about issues affecting Great Lakes ecosystems and communities. - Act as honest brokers of information, putting research findings into the hands of regulators, scientists, policy-makers, and community members who can use the data to make informed decisions about their interactions with the Great Lakes. - Host classroom activities, workshops, lectures, camps, and field trips that connect students and adults with Michigan's marvelous freshwater seas. We're proud to be a cooperative program of the University of Michigan and Michigan State University, with main offices in Ann Arbor and East Lansing and a team of educators based in coastal communities around the state. Michigan Sea Grant is part of a national network of 33 university-based Sea Grant programs administered through the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

Just about a month away! Sign up now: https://lnkd.in/g3S-zjY4 THE 15TH INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS ON THE BIOLOGY OF FISH (ICBF) JUNE 23-27, 2024, ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN The 15th International Congress on the Biology of Fish (ICBF) will be held June 23-27, 2024, at the Michigan Union on the Ann Arbor campus of the University of Michigan. The biannual international ICBF meeting began in 1994 in Vancouver, Canada, and has established itself as a premier event for the global community of researchers in the field of fish physiology. Organized by The Physiology Section of the American Fisheries Society and Michigan Sea Grant, in collaboration with associates from the U.S. Geological Survey Great Lakes Science Center, the 15th ICBF meeting will provide an opportunity for researchers and scientists from all over the world to share and collaborate on developments and findings in fish physiology. Following a plenary session with talks by leading international experts, the 15th ICBF will comprise a full program of concurrent thematic sessions over the span of four days, led by renowned researchers. The range of topics will reflect current research in fish conservation physiology, environmental physiology, evolutionary physiology, use of fishes in biomedical research, and other emerging issues. In addition, session organizers will select oral and poster presentations from submitted abstracts with a special emphasis on contributions by early career researchers. #greatlakes #fish #biology #science #research #symposium #conference
