The School of Coastal and Marine Systems Science houses the Burroughs & Chapin Center for Marine and Wetland Studies and related graduate academic program. The mission of the School is to:
- Advance the understanding of the complex interconnected environmental processes within the coastal zone through basic and applied research,
- Train the next generation of coastal scientists to apply this knowledge to predict coastal environmental behavior and aid in addressing environmental issues important to society, and
- Communicate the best science available to help society effectively manage critical coastal natural resources and the economies dependent upon them.
