Michigan Sea Grant Strategic Plan Fiscal Year 2018-2021

The Michigan Sea Grant Management Team began working on our Strategic Plan in February 2016 by first consulting with members of the Advisory Committee. In July 2016, the Management Team facilitated a program-­‐‑wide retreat to elicit staff input to the plan. At the retreat, staff members discussed a number of initiatives related to the national focus areas and how these initiatives will address the needs of our Michigan constituents. Input from a stakeholder survey (see below), Advisory Committee, Management Team, and program staff was considered and aligned to the planning guidelines from the National Sea Grant College Program to develop this plan.
