The Sea Grant programs
are collaborating with federal, state, university, non-governmental
and other groups to identify research priorities for the Gulf.
A synthesis of more than 115 strategic plans and about 1,500 research
survey responses already have contributed to the planning effort.

Jan. 17; St. Petersburg, Fla., Feb. 19; Baton Rouge, La., Feb.
26; and Galveston, Texas, Feb. 28.
Anyone who
sponsors or conducts Gulf of Mexico coastal or marine research
or uses Gulf research findings is invited to attend a workshop.
Early registration is required. There is no registration fee.
