All share the common goals of providing superior research capabilities in marine and coastal sciences in collaboration with industry and governmental agencies. They support graduate student education and enhance rapid technology transfer from the Batten School of Coastal & Marine Sciences & VIMS to commercial groups, coastal managers and decisionmakers within Virginia and beyond.
