The expertise honed in Louisiana and the Gulf Coast area has been applied throughout the world by individuals and teams from the School of the Coast and Environment research organizations. A glance at the world map provides a sample of the international projects earned out by SC&E investigators. This international experience adds to the credentials SC&E can offer for structured multidisciplinary approaches to environmental and resource issues beyond the United States. Development of research projects and programs that apply research results to solving resources and environmental problems in countries and oceans where our experience would be a unique asset is an important goal of the School of the Coast and Environment. Listed below are SC&E's international projects and affiliations.
