The CSU Council on Ocean Affairs, Science and Technology (COAST) highlighted the organization’s achievements toward advancing California’s coastal and marine resources at its annual meeting at the CSU Chancellor’s Office on April 25.
COAST—a network of hundreds of CSU faculty members, scientists and students actively working to address the state’s critical marine and coastal issues—has made strides in research that are integral to the development of ocean, coast and coastal policy. In academic year 2011-12, COAST provided $181,000 in support research for CSU students. Scholars received the opportunity to work with CSU faculty on marine science projects; travel across the state, nation and world to present their findings; and participate in summer internships with organizations dedicated to conserving California’s ecosystems.
