Our Team

The Great Lakes Sea Grant Network provides leadership for the regional Center for Great Lakes Literacy (CGLL, pronounced “sea gull”). In each Great Lakes state, our CGLL team works with educators and youth, experts and communities to support Great Lakes education, exploration and stewardship. We serve locally to help you navigate Great Lakes resources, partners, and opportunities.

CGLL is made possible with funding and support from the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Great Lakes National Program Office.
