LSU Coastal Sustainability Studio

The challenge of sustaining the ecological, settlement, and economic framework of the coast is one of the Gulf South’s most pressing issues. The mission of the LSU Coastal Sustainability Studio (CSS) is to address this challenge. At CSS, scientists, engineers, and designers come together to intensively study and respond to issues of settlement, coastal restoration, flood protection, and the economy. CSS brings together disciplines that normally work separately so that it can respond to critical coastal issues in a comprehensive way.
