With over 100 researchers, postdoctoral scholars, and graduate researchers, the Hub extends its reach across a multitude of institutions and disciplines. Teams are led by several co-leads and are each supported by a coastal community lead, who is an affiliate of Washington, Oregon, or California Sea Grant. Coastal community leads support their teams by connecting our researchers with community members and regional partners.
