Here are some of the overarching goals from our Strategic Plan:

• New York Sea Grant supports coastal communities in protecting and promoting their economic vitality consistent with their use of coastal resources in a sustainable manner. This encompasses many aspects of coastal economic activities including tourism, fisheries, and other waterfront businesses, as well minimizing environmental hazards to business activity.
  
  
• New York Sea Grant assists coastal communities in ensuring the long-term health and sustainability of coastal environments. This includes limiting the long-term impacts of many different human interactions with the coastal environment, including recreational, commercial, and watershed impacts.
  
  
• New York Sea Grant engages many sectors of coastal communities through education and training programs to improve coastal awareness and literacy, as well as the understanding of sustainable coastal environments and economies.
