Michigan Sea Grant Strategic Plan
Strategic Plan Highlights Sustainable Coasts
Michigan Sea Grant has outlined strategies to address crosscutting goals and focal areas over the next four years (2010-2013). The plan describes how Sea Grant management, staff and partners will achieve the desired outcomes and measure success.
The heart of the plan, three goals and four focus areas:
- Three crosscutting goals: development of sound scientific information, facilitation of an informed public, and support for inclusive decision-making processes.
- Four strategic focus areas: healthy coastal ecosystems, sustainable coastal development, safe and sustainable seafood supply, and hazard resilience in coastal communities.
The following elements are outlined in this Strategic and Implementation Plan:
- Goals: The desired future conditions for Michigan’s ecosystems and communities. These goals closely mirror the national strategic plan.
- Strategies: The principles used by Michigan Sea Grant to design program activities and develop objectives. These strategies reflect the unique needs and opportunities in Michigan.
- Measurable Objectives: Specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time-bound objectives or actions that Sea Grant staff will complete in order to reach identified desired outcomes.
- Outcomes: The anticipated results of the proposed strategies and programmatic activities. The outcomes are specific to Michigan and are aligned with the national Sea Grant program outcomes.
- Performance Measures: Specific measures to evaluate the extent to which Sea Grant activities are resulting in actual impacts for Michigan’s ecosystems and communities. These measures are aligned with the 11 performance measures used by the National Sea Grant College Program to monitor and demonstrate the impacts of all program activities.
