Richard A. Lutz, Director
The Institute of Marine and Coastal Sciences (IMCS) at
Rutgers University provides national and international leadership in marine
science and is New Jersey's focal point for education, research, and service in
estuarine, coastal, and ocean environments. IMCS is dedicated to developing, communicating, and understanding change
and sustainability in marine and coastal ecosystems, and to shaping future
directions for the use and protection of vital marine and coastal
resources. IMCS offers a campuswide
undergraduate major in marine sciences with hands-on education options in marine biology, marine chemistry, marine geology, and physical oceanography. There is a graduate program in oceanography. A precollegiate
program enriches science education in New Jersey classrooms. In addition to the extensive laboratories in
New Brunswick, facilities in Tuckerton, Bivalve, New Lisbon, Cape Shore, and
Cape May extend activities throughout the state. IMCS has major research strength in
aquaculture, biogeochemistry, biogeography, climate change, coastal
geomorphology, coastal management, fisheries, marine chemistry, marine ecology,
marine genetics, marine geology and geophysics, marine microbiology, ocean
modeling, paleoceanography, robotics, and ocean observation/prediction systems.
