Mission | What do we mean by Ocean, Human Interactions? The oceans are a source of food, moderate our weather and control our climate. Our oceans are a tremendous economic resource in Florida via tourism. Our college’s research portfolio can be broadly described as focused on assessing the health of ocean, human interactions, and predicting future changes with the aim of insuring healthy interactions for our children and beyond. Our mission is to promote workforce development for the maritime transportation system industry, conduct research to foster sustainable, secure, and resilient maritime and port infrastructure and operations, and provide independent testing and evaluation of maritime sensor technologies, through establishment of the University of South Florida (USF) Center for Maritime and Port Studies (CMPS) within the USF College of Marine Science, with collaborators in the USF College of Public Health, the USF College of Engineering, the USF College of Business, and the USF Patel College of Global Sustainability. |
