Coastal Oceanographic Assessment, Status and Trends Team Projects

Activities of the COAST Team focus on researching and evaluating new technologies, emerging contaminants, and environmental indicators and are conducted to enhance our ability to assess and forecast coastal conditions.

Below is a listing of projects. Please contact John Christensen (John.Christensen@noaa.gov or 301-713-3028 ext 153) if you have questions or would like to discuss these projects.
