NORTHEAST SEA GRANT CONSORTIUM SOCIAL SCIENCE RESEARCH
Recognizing that some issues are best addressed at the regional scale, the Northeast Sea Grant Consortium, comprised of the Sea Grant programs in New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, MIT, Woods Hole, New Hampshire and Maine, is funding three projects with a regional scope during 2014-2015 that focus on social science research in the focus areas of Resilient Communities and Economies and Healthy Coastal Ecosystems:
