Welcome!

The Institute for Global Maritime Studies is a publicly supported, non-profit educational organization, under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, dedicated to exploring a wide range of policy issues relating to the sea. The Institute investigates the various roles of the ocean as an avenue for the flow of goods, people and ideas; as an arena for combat and struggle; and as a source of foodstuffs, energy and minerals, and of recreation and stimulus to creativity. Our purpose is to foster greater public awareness of the importance to humankind of the oceanic world, and we are committed to advancing the national welfare and the public good.
