Sea Grant has been virtually the only source of funding in the United States for activities in marine policy, and has been a major contributor for the fields of marine aquaculture, coastal and estuarine research, marine fisheries management, seafood safety, marine biotechnology, marine engineering, and marine technology development. Sea Grant combines research, education, and advisory services into coherent, horizontally and vertically integrated approaches for the solution of coastal environmental and commercial problems.

Accordingly, the committee's recommendations suggest ways of improving an important program.
