The MIT Sea Grant College Program initiated a series of seminars in 2011 for our funded scientists, stakeholders, and other interested parties as an opportunity to dialogue with constituents and stakeholders, promote networking, and receive input on outreach programs to deliver economic, societal and/or environmental benefits from our funded research.  Past themes are: Aquatic Sciences, Ocean Circulation, Toxins & Contaminants, Humans in Marine Ecosystems, Designs for Engineering Sensors, and Adapting to Change in Marine Ecosystems. The format encourages investigators to present their work to our constituency and diverse staff in an engaging style that welcomes lively discussion.
