The University of Guam Center for Island Sustainability and Sea Grant Institute (CIS/SG) leads and supports the transition of our island region towards a sustainable future. CIS is a focal institute in our region for conducting sustainability-related research and community outreach to help meet islands’ needs in the broader areas of the environment, economy, society, and education. The mission of the Sea Grant Institutional Program is to integrate and apply research, extension, and education activities to sustain and develop island environments while integrating knowledge and cultural perspectives of island people. UOG Sea Grant is one of thirty-four (34) Sea Grant Programs in the United States. Core funding for CIS/SG is provided by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and Government of Guam.
