New London — The U.S. Coast Guard Academy has established a new Center for Maritime Policy & Strategy to promote education, research and policy innovation on contemporary challenges to America’s maritime interests.

The center’s initial research will focus on the Arctic, governance of marine resource frontiers, coastal management and marine spatial planning and holistic approaches to maritime security.

Rear Adm. Sandra L. Stosz, academy superintendent, said the center will “add value and enhance the national prominence of the academy through its unique ability to bridge policy and academic realms in facilitating innovative solutions to America’s maritime challenges.”
