Center for Sponsored Coastal Ocean Research (CSCOR)
As one of NOAA's National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS), the Center for Sponsored Coastal Ocean Research (CSCOR) administers NCCOS Extramural Research - a portfolio of 11 programs consisting of 73 multi-year awards held by over 370 university, state and government scientists and managers. Research programs often cumulate with the development of models explaining how ecosystems work and how they will respond to change, both negative (e.g. pollution or drought) and positive (e.g. protection or restoration). These are used to support sound coastal management decisions and support an ecosystem approach to managing coastal resources.
