The Smithsonian Environmental Research Center (SERC) does science that connects people and ecosystems for a more resilient future. From its headquarters on Chesapeake Bay, SERC provides science-based knowledge to meet the environmental challenges of the 21st century. SERC leads research on coastal ecosystems—where the land meets the sea—to inform real-world decisions for wise policies, best business practices, and a sustainable planet.
Shorelines details the discoveries of SERC’s scientists, some of the weird creatures they’ve encountered and the strange but true science of the coasts. See below for information about how we collect and use information on our blog. Questions? Contact Kristen Goodhue at GoodhueK@si.edu.
