The Collaborative Institute for Oceans, Climate and Security engages scientists, policy makers, and security specialists in an effort to identify and communicate the critical interdependence among oceans, climate, and human safety–an interdependence that is not yet well understood within certain segments of the population. The institute also seeks to influence public and private sectors by creating new opportunities for problem solving, contributing high quality research, and establishing strategic collaborative relationships within and outside the university system.
