LSU CCE College Overview
Our History
The LSU College of the Coast and Environment (CC&E), formerly called the School of the Coast and Environment (SC&E), was founded in 2001. The College replaced the Center for Coastal, Energy, and Environmental Resources (CCEER) which was established in 1991. That center represented the consolidation of the Department of Marine Science, Institute of Environmental Studies (IES), Wetland Biogeochemistry Institute (WBI), Coastal Ecology Institute (CEI), Coastal Fisheries Institute (CFI), and Coastal Studies Institute (CSI).

CC&E’s Advisory Council is dedicated to the creative development of the financial and intellectual resources of the college. The Advisory Council provides guidance in making the CC&E a responsive and effective partner with academia and private, corporate, and public sectors as it strives to fulfill its mission.
