We train highly diverse cohorts of rising leaders in coastal sustainability through a two-year MS degree in which each student works one year in a real-world setting with a partner organization to advance a solution; and a PhD designated emphasis. The CSP program is a hub for coastal innovation, hosting the Blue Pioneers Program accelerator and offering the nation's first Hacking for Oceans course. The program also leads and coordinates research collaborations among academic, government, non-profit and private organizations. These include research with the City of Santa Cruz and multiple partners on coastal adaptation; and leading MARINE, the Monterey Area Research Institution's Network for Education. The Coastal Science and Policy Program is also uniquely positioned to enhance workforce development initiatives in Coastal Climate Resilience (CCR) that will strengthen the capacity of practitioners already working in or whose jobs newly demand their involvement in CCR and strengthen preparation of UCSC students for positions in CCR.
