NYSG has been "bringing science to the shore" for 50 years through research, extension, and education. Our vision is for coastal decision-making throughout New York State to be influenced by science-based information and educated stakeholders.
NYSG-funded researchers support cutting-edge, university-based, research that takes an unbiased approach to answering questions in focus areas including resilient communities and economies, coastal ecosystems, fisheries/aquaculture, and workforce development.
