We are pleased to share the Class of 2024’s presentations with results from their capstone projects—each the culmination of two years of learning throughout the CSP masters program. These graduates have advanced research and practical applications across a suite of coastal science, policy, and sustainability issues with the passion and drive it takes to affect change. Please visit the links below!
CSP Director, Dr. Anne R. Kapuscinski, noted of these student-led projects, “They describe important advances in leveraging science to strengthen marine conservation, to inform local to global policy development, to drive business sustainability action, and to be in service to the aims of indigenous and frontline communities. A common theme is the imperative to establish ethical and trusted relationships in pursuing their goals.”
