The National Sea Grant program was created by legislation on October 17, 1966.
The goal of the legislation is to make the oceans more productive in the service of
people and the nation. The University of California requested that the National
Science Foundation designate the University as a Sea Grant Institution in 1970,
and it received that designation on October 25, 1973. In July 1970, the University
submitted a proposal to the Office of Sea Grant Programs, National Science
Foundation that was funded.
In subsequent years, Sea Grant funds were
administered by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
Sea Grant was part of the University of California Institute of Marine Resources
until IMR closed.
