Who We Are

Turning Knowledge into Action

At the Centre for Coastal Health (CCH), we use epidemiological and ecosystem health approaches to understand population and public health problems. Our goal is to gather, evaluate, and communicate information to help you manage complex health issues. We are problem-oriented applied scientists trained in public health, veterinary epidemiology, biology, statistics, environmental management and sustainable development. We perform reviews of the scientific literature, design research studies, conduct surveys, undertake field sampling, construct databases, analyze health datasets, evaluate programs, and support policy development.
