Description

Through our Sea Star magazine, Washington Sea Grant shares highlights from our research, outreach, and education programs.

Our summer 2026 issue features a deep dive into The Mysterious World of Bull Kelp, a webstory rich in art and imagery that shines a light on the West Coast’s underwater canopies; a review of the many successes of the Coastal Hazards Organizational Resilience Team’s first biennium; a look at the first cohort of WSG’s new Coastal Resilience Fellowship; a recap of the Washington Fishermen’s Convention, WSG’s new effort to celebrate Washington’s commercial fishing community; and an exploration of a new WSG and UW Climate Impacts Group collaboration, the Summer Learning Institute for emerging environmental professionals.
