Oregon State University
Corvallis, Oregon
Phone 541-737-2714
Oregon Sea Grant serves Oregon coastal communities through integrated research, education
and public engagement on ocean and coastal issues. Based at Oregon State University, OSG is
part of the national network of NOAA Sea Grant College Programs, dedicated to promoting
environmental stewardship, long-term economic development and responsible use of America’s
coastal, ocean and Great Lakes resources. OSG targets research on better defining the
relationships between the many pressures that can degrade water quality: climate change,
upland and coastal land use, fish and habitat restoration efforts, aquatic invasive species. OSG
works with groups whose interests sometimes come in conflict - landowners, outdoor
recreationists, farmers and woodland managers, local government, the general public - to seek
solutions that will help sustain healthy watersheds and our precious water resources. OSG
focuses on the question of resilience - the ability to plan, adapt and rebound in the face of
change by supporting physical and social science research aimed at better understanding ocean
and coastal processes and the socio-economic barriers to hazard and climate change
preparation.

OSG and OSU Extension produce textbooks and other publications on such topics as
conservation-friendly gardening, sustainable living and low-impact development. OSG also
partners with the Oregon State Marine Board to develop the Clean Vessel Act (CVA) Education
Initiative. Funded by the Clean Vessel Act of 1992, the goal of the CVA Education Initiative is to
improve boaters’ awareness, accessibility and use of sewage pump-outs, dump stations, and
floating toilets. Publications and resources available from OSG about watershed health can be
found here:

Every two years, OSG awards approximately $2 million in research grants addressing community
preparedness for climate change, watershed health, other urgent or emerging regional needs
with high relevance to coastal communities. For more information on grants, see:

Source Water Collaborative
– led by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
Technical assistance and lists of resources and contacts are available from this national network
that has worked to promote drinking water protection for several years. The Source Water
Collaborative is a network of federal, state, and local organizations led by US EPA. Some of the
key Source Water Collaborative members include the US EPA, US Department of Agriculture,
AWWA, American Planning Association, ASDWA, ACWA, National Rural Water Association,
Groundwater Protection Council, National Association of Counties, and The Trust for Public
Land. Resources can be found here:
