About Maryland Sea Grant
Welcome to Maryland Sea Grant's channel. For more than 30 years, Maryland Sea Grant has been a dedicated leader in efforts to protect and restore the Chesapeake Bay and Maryland's coastal resources. Drawing on the talent and expertise of the state's universities and academic laboratories, we foster innovative marine research, education, and outreach.
One of our major outreach efforts is film -- we have produced several award-winning documentaries about the complex issues facing the Chesapeake. They have been shown locally, at film festivals, and on public television.
The short clips in our video journal, In Their Own Words: Stories of the Chesapeake, offer brief glimpses into the lives of those in the tidewater region -- scientists and citizens, watermen and Bay pilots, environmentalists and educators.
