Sea Grant Legal Programs

The University of Mississippi houses both the Mississippi-Alabama Sea Grant Legal Program and the National Sea Grant Law Center.

Mississippi-Alabama Sea Grant Legal Program
The Mississippi-Alabama Sea Grant Legal Program has conducted legal research, education, and outreach since 1972 and is now operated in conjunction with the National Sea Grant Law Center, created in February of 2002.

As the legal research arm of the Mississippi-Alabama Sea Grant Consortium, the Program conducts research on marine laws and policies, coordinates ocean and coastal law researchers, and disseminates information to coastal and ocean policy-makers in the Gulf of Mexico.

The Mississippi-Alabama Sea Grant Legal Program publishes a legal reporter, Water Log, which comes out quarterly.

National Sea Grant Law Center
Founded in 2002 to provide legal research to the Sea Grant community and its constituents, the Sea Grant Law Center conducts research on marine laws and policies, coordinates ocean and coastal law researchers, and disseminates information to coastal and ocean policy-makers.

The Sea Grant Law Center provides a research service, the coordination of Sea Net, Sea Grant’s Law and Policy Network, and publishes a legal reporter, The SandBar and a digest, The Law and Policy Digest.
