For over 50 years, California Sea Grant (CASG) has engages with communities throughout California by delivering research, education, extension and communications. CASG has actively supported NOC and our efforts to position the Mendocino coastal region for blue economy investment. In particular, CASG Aquaculture Specialists Luke Gardner and Kevin Marquez Johnson generously invested time, energy, expertise and helped secure funding to ensure the May 2022 Blue Economy Symposium and Learning Festival was a success. Thank you!

The City of Fort Bragg is proud to include a CASG extension fellow to the team beginning October 2023, and to continue learning from and working alongside CASG Specialists as we identify our coastal community’s needs and priorities.
