Maryland Sea Grant at a Glance
Maryland Sea Grant produces results that matter for Marylanders and our state’s coastal natural resources.
We carry out our research, education, and outreach programs in an effective, transparent, and accountable fashion. We can show that the federal and state tax dollars that support our program are making a difference.
Maryland Sea Grant receives financial support from Congress through the National Sea Grant College Program within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, as well as support from the University System of Maryland and other external grants and contracts.

Developing a habitat model for mysids, an important link in Chesapeake Bay food webs
Mysids are important mesozooplankton prey for many species of fish in Chesapeake Bay and are an important link in transferring energy from lower to upper trophic levels. Mysids also serve as biological vectors for benthic-pelagic coupling due to their diel vertical migration and omnivorous prey-switching behavior, which makes mysids important regulators of food web architecture. Despite their central role in coastal food webs, surprisingly little is known about mysid ecology and dynamics in Chesapeake Bay.
