				“I see this project as a unique opportunity to strategically drive future collaborations among Sea Grant programs and key partners for water resources-related efforts.”
					Karen Bareford, Ph.D.Sea Grant Water Resources Lead, Mississippi-Alabama Sea Grant Consortium - Karen leads a two-year project to develop a roadmap for Sea Grant water resources initiatives and improve communication and coordination on water resources efforts within the network and among key partners. Karen assesses priorities for Sea Grant's work, determining needs and potential partnerships, as it relates to addressing flooding, drought, water quality and other water-related issues. This work will assist in planning for and protecting citizens, water resources, property, and the long-term sustainability of public health, the economy, and daily lives.

				Community Resilience ResourcesEvery four years, the National Sea Grant College Program taps into its vast network of scientists, engagement professionals, stakeholders, and federal partners to identify and address the needs of coastal communities around the country. A strategic plan is developed by representatives from the Sea Grant Network to produce high quality science and inform management of coastal resources in ways that balance human use with environmental health. The strategic planning process identifies core values and focus areas that drive efforts to address the priorities established by coastal communities.
