Planning Documents
The LSU Office of Sea Grant Development was created by the Board of Supervisors in 1968 to obtain and administer funds competitively awarded to select universities under the National Sea Grant College Program Act of 1966 and supplement those legislatively mandated efforts with additional resources secured from governmental agencies and the private sector. The vision and mission of Louisiana Sea Grant recognizes the need for congruency with Congressionally mandated objectives, strategic plans developed and implemented by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the mission of Louisiana State University and the needs of Louisiana and the Gulf of Mexico region.
