The COAST
governance structure calls for Faculty and Administrative Representatives from each campus and marine consortia. These
Campus Representatives form the official decision-making body for COAST. They have official voting privileges on behalf of their campus and are responsible for communicating with campus faculty and administrators. The COAST
Executive Committee is elected from the Campus Representatives and works closely with the
Staff to oversee daily operations. Additionally, there is a
Presidents’ Council, appointed by the Chancellor and led by Dr. Eduardo Ochoa (CSUMB). COAST's activities are guided by its
Strategic Plan.
