Sea Grant Law & Policy Journal
The Sea Grant Law & Policy Journal is an online, scholarly publication of the National Sea Grant Law Center (NSGLC) that provides a forum for the timely discussion and exploration of legal topics of relevance to the Sea Grant network of extension agents, researchers, coastal managers and users, and local decision-makers. The Journal features concise articles on a range of subjects that should be of interest to anyone involved in ocean, coastal, or Great Lakes resource management, lawyer and non-lawyer alike.
The NSGLC strives to support the creation of new law and policy knowledge through rigorous, peer-reviewed research competitions. Towards that end, NSGLC provides funding for awarded applicants to organize and host academic symposia addressing priority ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes law and policy topics and publishes a Journal edition for each selected symposium.

At times, the Sea Grant Law & Policy Journal also issues calls for papers for stand alone issues, including articles from law and graduate students. At this time we are not accepting articles for publication.
