Provide a short paragraph stating why the project is best administered by the Coastal Institute.	This effort closely aligns with the C.I. mission in that is supports our coastal ecosystems and communities though information-based research. It relies on partnership and expertise of a mixed team of experts. The effort will feed into management of our coastal resources (seafood) by helping to refine and formalize a direct sales license. It will also be a model for other states.
