The Institute will comprise internal faculty and external partners who will work as a multi-disciplinary organization to address complex and multi-faceted problems of coastal zones. The Institute builds on the Universitys long-standing excellence in marine and environmental studies, and is housed in three new buildings with state-of-the-art facilities. The Director of the Coastal Institute will lead this initiative. Working with University and non-University partners, the Director will identify issues and problems for investigation and action, formulate the Institutes research agenda, and develop proposals.
