Center for Coastal Physical Oceanography

The Center for Coastal Physical Oceanography (CCPO) is a research institution focused on understanding the physical processes that affect ocean and coastal environments. It studies how factors like currents, waves, and temperature variations impact coastal ecosystems and communities. The center combines field studies, laboratory experiments, and computer modeling to investigate issues such as sea level rise, climate change, and marine resource management. By generating valuable data and insights, CCPO aims to support informed decision-making for the conservation and sustainable use of coastal and marine resources.
