Established in October 2003, the
Rhode Island Sea Grant Legal Program
located at the Marine Affairs
Institute at Roger Williams
University School of Law is one of
only four Sea Grant legal and policy
efforts in the nation. The
Program assists Rhode Island Sea
Grant
in meeting its three core components
of outreach services, education, and
legal research by responding to
research requests from state and
regional agencies and other Sea
Grant constituents on coastal zone
management, fisheries, public
access, aquaculture, ports and
harbors and other areas of marine
law. The Program is prohibited from
providing legal advice or becoming
involved in litigation.
The
information provided by the
Program’s students and attorneys is
intended for informational purposes
only.
