Grays Harbor Marine Resources Program encourages the understanding, development, wise use, and conservation of ocean and coastal resources. Through research, education, and Extension, marine resource programs are available to solve marine related problems on the coast of Washington and southern Puget Sound.

Affiliated with the Washington Sea Grant Program, the program serves the community by providing technical assistance and educational activities to commercial and sports fishermen, seafood processors and retailers, fish and shellfish growers, coastal planners, marina operators, recreational boaters, teachers, students, and others who use, manage, or simply enjoy the area's marine resources.

Activities of the program are geared to specific problems of a marine nature and to specific audiences. Assistance may include working with an individual on a particular project, presenting a day or evening work-shop for a group with a specific need, or teaching or coordinating an intensive short course on a marine subject. The office circulates newsletter, brochures, and other marine related publications, and maintains a small reference collection. Specialists in aquaculture, commercial fishing, seafood processing, coastal resources, and port management are used for special problems.
