Michigan Sea Grant is a cooperative program affiliated with the University of Michigan and Michigan State University that conducts and coordinates research focused on the Great Lakes. It collaborates with a broad network of partners to advance university research addressing questions affecting Great Lakes ecosystems and communities, and it serves as an information broker to connect regulators, scientists, policymakers, and community members with the latest findings. The organization also runs educational activities and field experiences to connect students and adults with Michigan's freshwater resources, maintaining offices in Ann Arbor and East Lansing. Its work targets regulators, researchers, policymakers, educators, and coastal communities across Michigan who rely on data to inform decisions about interactions with the Great Lakes. In 2026, Michigan Sea Grant announced partnerships and binational collaboration with the Great Lakes Commission and the International Joint Commission's Great Lakes Regional Office, reflecting ongoing cross-border collaboration within the Sea Grant network.
