understanding, assessments, development, utilization, and conservation 
of the Nation's ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes resources. The program 
accomplishes these objectives by conducting research, education, and 
outreach programs.
    Grant monies are available for funding activities that help obtain 
the objectives of the Sea Grant Program. Both single and multi-project 
grants are awarded, with the latter representing about 80 percent of
