The MIT Sea Grant Center for Coastal Resources (MITSG CCR) is committed to disseminating scientific and technical information to those who value the coast and its natural resources. This site highlights research, monitoring programs, and management actions in the areas of marine bioinvasive species, water and sediment quality, and habitats within the geographic areas of Boston Harbor and Massachusetts Bay, coastal Massachusetts and the Gulf of Maine. The scientific level of review is indicated for all documents and outreach materials.
The goal of CCR is to provide scientific and technical information to managers, scientists, industry and the public to improve the management of natural resources. CCR's outreach activities focus on pollution and water and sediment quality; ecosystem impacts; and habitats. A variety of outreach and education activities are offered to transfer information to a broad audience, including conferences, workshops and courses on timely topics.
Through CCR, students participate in ongoing research in Boston Harbor and Massachusetts and in related management and policy issues as preparation for careers in estuarine and coastal science, policy and management.
