The Sea Grant Program relies on federal funding that is currently threatened. This funding is critical in providing research into urgent coastal issues such as water quality and disaster preparedness. The Consortium is currently urging South Carolina residents and businesses to express support for the Sea Grant Program to their elected officials. Please contact info@scseagrant.org for more information on how to help.

Coastal Science Serving South Carolina

The S.C. Sea Grant Consortium is a university-based program that generates and provides science-based information to support the wise use and conservation of South Carolina’s coastal resources and create a sustainable economy and environment.

Research

We facilitate coastal and marine research by identifying and funding peer-reviewed projects that address critical data needs for our state and region.

Extension

We support the informational needs of coastal residents by making science-based information, expertise, and education about coastal issues available to the public.

Education

We develop resources for educators and students such as educator training, education programs, and undergraduate and graduate support to further ocean science education.

Age as a Predictor of Phosphorus Mobility in Coastal Stormwater Ponds

Age as a Predictor of Phosphorus Mobility in Coastal Stormwater Ponds

Are South Carolina’s coastal stormwater ponds aging out of peak performance as a water quality control measure? For over 30 years, South Carolinians have increasingly relied on an abundance of stormwater ponds. Recently, pond owners have experienced increased challenges with algal blooms.
