In February 2020, the National Extension Tourism Design Team in collaboration with Sea Grant launched a webinar series to provide programmatic examples from both the Sea Grant and Land Grant networks. The first webinar in the series was held in February and focused on results from a survey conducted nationally to identify the types of Sea Grant and Extension tourism programs offered across the U.S. and programmatic gaps and challenges. A recording and resources mentioned during the webinar are now available.
The webinar, titled "Sea Grant/Land Grant Tourism Survey Results,"
was presented by Doug Arbogast, Daniel Eades, Bryan Fleuch, Stephan Goetz, and Cynthia Messer.
