Submitting publications to Michigan Sea Grant

Tracking and promoting publications is critical to our program. As a requirement of funding, Principal Investigators must submit all published articles related to Sea Grant-supported projects, regardless of the publication date. Michigan Sea Grant is required to send copies of these publications to the National Sea Grant Library.

Please forward all research, education, and outreach publications regardless of the publication date. CD, DVDs, or hard copies can be mailed to the address below, or send electronic documents (PDF or link to URL) to Michigan Sea Grant at msgpubs@umich.edu.
