Highlighting Our Blue Economy
"We appreciated the opportunity to highlight Massachusetts Sea Grant programs’ role in sustaining and growing the Blue Economy in the commonwealth. We look forward to partnering with the state in the future on job creation, water quality, coastal resiliency, and sustainable fisheries, as well as providing innovative solutions to the many challenges our coastal communities will face with changing climate." - Matt Charette, director of Woods Hole Sea Grant
MIT Sea Grant and Woods Hole Sea Grant hosted a Blue Economy briefing sponsored by Representative Dylan Fernandes at the Massachusetts State House on July 11, 2019. The informational session highlighted local partnerships within the Commonwealth and provided background on the value the Sea Grant programs bring to cities and towns across Massachusetts.
Special thanks to the Wellfleet Shellfish Company for providing tasty oysters for the representatives and their staffs to sample.
