A Bigger Vision
The Coastal Studies Institute is one facet of ECU’s Outer Banks Campus, which brings together scientists and researchers across ECU and integrates the fields of engineering, health, natural, and social sciences. CSI and the ECU Outer Banks Campus are dedicated to transdisciplinary research, high-quality academic programs, and meaningful community engagement, using an interdisciplinary approach and scientific advances to provide effective solutions to complex problems while helping coastal communities, ecosystems, and economies thrive.
The ECU Outer Banks campus is home to the Coastal Studies Institute.
Based at the Coastal Studies Institute (CSI), the North Carolina Renewable Ocean Energy Program (NCROEP) advances inter-disciplinary marine energy solutions across UNC System partner colleges of engineering at NC State University, UNC Charlotte, and NC A&T University.
