Promotional graphic for the Mississippi-Alabama Sea Grant Consortium strategic planning questionnaire. The headline reads, "Help shape our future!" with the text, "We are developing our next four-year strategic plan." A graduate student in waders kneels in a coastal salt marsh collecting a water sample while taking notes on a clipboard. A Gulf Coast shrimp boat is visible in the background on calm water beneath a blue sky with seabirds flying overhead. At upper right, a large clipboard graphic reads, "Take Our Strategic Planning Questionnaire," beside a circular icon of a laptop with a check mark. A banner across the middle states, "We focus on four areas:" followed by four illustrated icons labeled Environmental Literacy and Workforce Development, Healthy Coastal Ecosystems, Resilient Communities and Economies, and Sustainable Fisheries and Aquaculture. The Mississippi-Alabama Sea Grant logo appears prominently in the lower-right corner against a dark blue background, with stylized blue and green waves along the bottom of the graphic.

The Mississippi-Alabama Sea Grant Consortium is seeking input for its 2028-2031 strategic plan. An online questionnaire is now available. (Note: A Google account is not required to complete the form.)

Comments from the questionnaire will help inform the Sea Grant program's future priorities, requests for research proposals, and education and engagement programming. 

The questionnaire takes only minutes to complete and asks for input on priorities in any or all of the program's four focus areas:

  • Environmental Literacy and Workforce Development
  • Healthy Coastal Ecosystems
  • Resilient Communities and Economies
  • Sustainable Fisheries and Aquaculture

The questionnaire will be available through July 15, 2026.
