Center for Sponsored Coastal Ocean Research

The Center for Sponsored Coastal Ocean Research (CSCOR) provides scientific information to assist decision makers in meeting the challenges of managing our nation's coastal resources. It targets critical issues which exist in the nation's estuaries, coastal waters, and Great Lakes. CSCOR translates its findings into accessible information and the transfer of technology to coastal managers, planners, lawmakers and the public. Its aim is to create near-term and continuous improvements in environmental decisions affecting the coastal ocean and its resources.
