Additional publications information
The end product of research is scientific information, and Sea Grant research results are not fully realized until they are available to users. To further the use and development of marine and coastal resources, NOAA encourages wide dissemination of the results of Sea Grant research, as well as its education and extension activities. A major part of that dissemination occurs in the form of publications and other communications products. Peer-reviewed journal publications are processed for inclusion in in the NOAA Institutional Repository. Other publications are processed for inclusion in the Sea Grant Publications Collection at the NOAA Central Library.
It is essential that the rights of the U.S. government and MASGC are reserved to reproduce and distribute — for governmental purposes — any publication that results from Sea Grant support, regardless of copyrights.
Your publications must be submitted as part of your annual report through e-Sea Grant and/or emailed to publications@masgc.org or shared with MASGC communications through another platform (e.g. Google Drive). PDFs are preferred where applicable.
