Sustainable Coastal Margins Program (SCMP)

Sustainable Coastal Margins Program
Dedicated to formulating scientifically sound solutions to critical environmental and developmental challenges faced by coastal margins while ensuring that human progress does not compromise the resources of future generations.

SCMP was formed to:
* enhance fundamental scientific understanding of the structure and functioning of coastal margins;
* promote a more complete understanding of the interconnectivity of the physical, biological, geological, chemical, ecological, social, behavioral and public policy components of coastal margins;
* create a program to produce educated and informed scientists, technicians, resource managers, government officials, and lay public; and
* develop mechanisms to coordinate access to the human and economic resources that must be brought to bear on these important issues.
