The Unit Publications series (4.5 linear feet) contains printed material published specifically by the Michigan Sea Grant. These publications are defined as being widely distributed and may be published at regular intervals. They are arranged alphabetically by genre of the publication. Included in the unit publications are several different manuals that focus on risk management, confined water training, and homeowners guides that address environmental concerns. Several of the manuals focus on educators and outline projects geared towards children in 6-8th grades. Several editions of the Michigan Sea Grant newsletter titled Upwellings are also included in this series. Upwellings contains general information about recent projects and reports sponsored by the Michigan Sea Grant Program. This newsletter can serve as a good starting point for individuals interested in gathering a broad understanding of the goals, mission, and target areas of interest of the Michigan Sea Grant Program.

The reports have retained the original organizational structure given to them by the donor and are arranged by their year of publication and publication number. These reports address a wide range of issues and could be used by individuals researching topics concerning land erosion, Grand Traverse Bay, scuba diving safety, wildlife, and environmental concerns. Many of the reports focus on pollution problems and discuss polychlorinated biphenyls and other chemical pollutants. Also included are reports that address economic concerns such as the fishing industry, Great Lakes shipping, petroleum, and boating.
