Welcome to the
Centre for Coastal Studies
at Simon Fraser University

The Centre for Coastal Studies at Simon Fraser University promotes interdisciplinary research, education and dialogue on Canada's coastal ecosystems, particularly those in British Columbia.

By linking social and natural science with local knowledge, the Centre focuses on three key themes:

1. marine conservation
2. sustainable coastal communities and economies
3. building resource management capacity (government, community, academic)

The Centre for Coastal Studies also coordinates the Linking Science with Local Knowledge node of the DFO/SSHRC national Ocean Management Research Network.

The Centre for Coastal Studies is part of the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences.

Continuing Studies in Science is responsible for outreach programs for the Centre for Coastal Studies.
