The University of North Carolina Sea 

 Grant College Program is a federal/state 

 program that promotes the wise use of our 

 coastal and marine resources through 

 research, extension and education. It 

 joined the National Sea Grant College 

 Network in 1970 as an institutional 

 program. Six years later, it was designated 

 a Sea Grant College. Today, UNC Sea 

 Grant supports several research projects, 

 an 11-member extension program and 

 three communicators. B.J. Copeland is 

 director. The program is funded by the 

 U.S. Department of Commerce's National 

 Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration 

 and the state through the University of 

 North Carolina.
