Two-year effort produces Gulfwide research plan

The Gulf of Mexico Research Plan (GMRP) is now available on the Web and in print. This regional research planning effort is a culmination of two years of constiuent input. More than 1,500 people from 266 organizations across the Gulf of Mexico and beyond contributed to this plan, which was initially funded by the National Sea Grant Office and led by the four Gulf of Mexico Sea Grant College Programs. Five themes emerged as regional priorities. For more information, access the GMRP report online at: http://masgc.org/gmrp/report.htm.
