Sustaining and managing the coastal environment requires improved knowledge of coastal natural and economic processes as well as the many conflicts that arise in the use of natural resources. CMAST was conceived and designed to focus efforts of NC State University\u2019s marine sciences faculty toward improving our collective stewardship and management of these valuable natural resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
