We are thrilled to announce Pacific Currents, an online magazine to share stories about the communities and initiatives of Sea Grant programs across the region. Each month, we’ll publish work from Alaska, Washington, Oregon, California, Hawaii and Guam.

A few highlights from the first issue:

• How neighbors influence coastal landowners’ decisions to armor shorelines, from Oregon Sea Grant
• Hawaii Sea Grant’s new leadership position to address diversity, equity. and inclusion
• The history of how oil and water paved the way for University of Southern California Sea Grant
• A profile on 2016 Knauss Fellow Paloma Aguirre, from California Sea Grant

 Enjoy!
