Smithsonian Environmental Research Center
We're the Smithsonian's home for science in the coastal zone! From our headquarters on Chesapeake Bay, scientists at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center study life on the land-sea boundary in coasts around the globe. We are searching for solutions for a more sustainable world, through research on climate change, biodiversity, invasive species, pollution and restoration.
