Several weeks ago Robbin Peach, our Executive Director, spoke to Mike Deehan from the Dorchester Reporter. The article resulting from that meeting is featured in today’s Dorchester Reporter. With quotes from UMass Boston’s Chancellor J. Keith Motley and US Congressman Stephen Lynch, the article summarizes the mission and vision of the Institute and the relevance of its location in the Boston Harbor.

The Collaborative Institute for Oceans, Climate and Security is distinguished by its focus on the intersections of oceans, climate and security, and emerging associated policy and management implications.
Founded at UMass Boston in January 2010, the Collaborative Institute exists to develop and communicate high-value intellectual, policy, and technical expertise to help stabilize the health of our atmosphere, coastal communities and marine ecosystems, and human/national security for all.
It seeks on a global scale to create new strategic opportunities to bring innovation to science, policy and communications.
Visionary, as well as opportunistic and flexible, the Collaborative Institute uses multi-sector engagement as a cornerstone of its work and uses public/private revenue to sustain its mission.
