FSG has selected eleven students for its 2026 Undergraduate Internship cohort, with research projects spanning sustainable fisheries and aquaculture, coastal ecosystems, economics, and environmental literacy.
The Connections to the Blue Challenge is an art contest that asks students to use science and research to create art that inspires conversations about coastal issues and expresses their connections and appreciation for the ocean. Hosted by Florida Sea Grant (FSG), this contest honors the storied career of Dr. Guy Harvey and the history of FSG and the Guy Harvey Foundation working together to support student research.

Florida Sea Grant awarded four startups developing sustainable technologies for Florida’s coastal and marine environments $500 each and the opportunity to compete for up to $10,000 in additional funding through a competitive grant process.
Thank you for choosing to scallop sustainably. We hope you use the tool and we would love to hear about it after season closes. Good luck out there!
Florida Sea Grant offers free, valuable sustainable fisheries resources, tools, and educational materials to ocean-reliant businesses and hobbyists. We also have programs on a variety of coastal topics. Let us know your interests and we can provide you with resources or opportunities relevant to you.
“Tween” tiger sharks may be too big to behave like newborns, but too young to move like adults. After their first year or two of life, young tiger sharks are no longer tiny pups, but they are still years away from maturity. Males generally mature around 9–10 years old, while females often mature closer to 11–12 years old, meaning this in-between juvenile and subadult stage can last for much of a decade.
Florida Sea Grant is honored to welcome the newest cohort of fellows representing the state as part of the 2026 John A. Knauss Marine Policy
The collection of over 250 resources on the website brings together & amplifies the past work of all of these states/territories to educate the public on aquaculture and seafood, providing approachable science-backed information for a wide audience, including students, children, educators, seafood consumers, and policymakers.
To celebrate 50 years of collaboration, FSG is highlighting research partners across Florida State University (FSU) and Florida International University (FIU).
Help us shape our next strategic plan by answering the survey questions in as much or as little detail as you wish.
Florida Sea Grant is now accepting applications for the 2027 FSG-Guy Harvey Fellowship Program from graduate students at Florida universities who are conducting research that
As commercial and recreational uses of the Florida waterway system continue to expand with population growth, new coastal development, and a healthy marine industry, the potential for conflicts among boaters, natural resources, and different user groups will also increase. Faced with these competing pressures, state and local governments are forced to reconcile conflicting demands for use of the same limited geographic space and natural resources.
Each year, Florida Sea Grant selects an outstanding high school senior competing in the State Science and Engineering Fair of Florida to receive the scholarship, which recognizes promising young researchers like Elena in coastal or marine science-related fields.
Florida Sea Grant’s research projects are awarded on a biennial basis for two years following a rigorous review process in accordance with the National Sea Grant Competition Policy. The competition is designed to help support the program’s applied research and educational responsibilities drawing from fields related to ocean and coastal resources.
