The Berkeley Center for Ocean Futures (BeCOF) is a collective of researchers dedicated to understanding and mitigating critical threats to ocean health, as well as generating ocean-based solutions for human communities.
We serve as a globally and locally significant hub of marine expertise, spanning natural and social science, engineering, policy and communication at one of the world’s top public universities.
Through community partnerships and diverse knowledge systems, we aim to drive place-based ocean solutions ranging from coastal and estuarine systems to the high seas.
