NSU Ocean

Big Ocean. Big Economy.

Nearly every community in Florida—and coastal communities around the world—depends on thriving seas. Florida's coastline industries range from shipping and cargo to fishing and tourism, an ocean economy generating one million jobs with a $39.5 billion economic impact. Nova Southeastern University is committed to supporting its future for generations to come.

NSU Ocean is a hub for global ocean research, education, and workforce development to drive the health and economic future of our oceans. Our mission is to bring together leading researchers, government agencies, industry partners, and communities to create oceans of opportunity.

NSU Expedition to Greenland Inspires Action on Rising Sea Levels
As Greenland’s ice melts at record speed, Nova Southeastern University’s Rising Seas Institute is leading efforts to understand and respond to the growing threat to Florida’s coasts and global shorelines. Florida Trend’s Brittney J. Miller’s feature follows Dr. Harry K. Moon, John Englander, and business leaders into the Arctic, where they document glacial melt and the complex challenges it poses for the future.

National Coral Research Programs
As the home of the National Coral Reef Institute, NSU Ocean is a leader working to regrow, rehabilitate, and sustain the future of this keystone of our oceans.

A Key Collaborator in the Ocean Economy
NSU Ocean brings together student innovators, researchers, educators, marine industry experts, and entrepreneurs for events like the Ocean Exchange. Learn more about our collaboration with this annual event that works to advance innovation in ocean health technologies.

World-Class Ocean Research Centers, Facilities, and Collaborations
NSU Ocean is a hub connecting leading scientists with resources to power the next wave of oceanographic breakthroughs and discoveries. A premier center for oceanographic research and education in the Southeast, NSU is home to six ocean research institutes, more than 12 marine science labs, and a one-acre boat basin connecting scientists to the Atlantic Ocean.

We dive deep to conduct leading-edge research on the biggest challenges facing our global seas. We're growing more resilient corals to plant on the only living barrier reef in the U.S., tagging sharks to monitor migration patterns from the Gulf of Mexico to the Galápagos Islands, and leading expeditions to Greenland's ice sheets to foster solutions for rising seas. These are the spaces and institutes that fuel the work of our scientists.
