Established in 1969, Michigan Sea Grant is a joint program of the University of Michigan and Michigan State University. It is part of the National Sea Grant College Program, a network of 30 university-based programs in coastal states across the country. Michigan Sea Grant funds research projects and educational activities related to all aspects of the Great Lakes. The records document the administration, funding, research and educational programming of the Michigan Sea Grant Program.

The Michigan Sea Grant record group consists of 21 linear feet of material, which span the years from 1969 to 2005. The record group includes administrative material, budget and project proposals, and research project files which document the program's efforts to conduct research and educate the public on issues related to the use of the Great Lakes. The records have been divided into five series: Administrative Files, Proposals and Omnibus Proposals, Research Project Files, Research Materials and Visual and Audio Materials.
