1. America’s Energy Coast Leadership Forum IV: Building Maritime Capacity In, By, and For the Region Planning of a Comprehensive Ocean/Coastal Engineering Innovation Center (OCEIC) William S. Vorus Chairman, School of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering University of New Orleans

2. FACT: The maritime and offshore industries are vitally important to the US economy. FACT: The long standing lack of a comprehensive domestic marine design support capability forces U.S. companies to go overseas for critical hydrodynamic model testing services. To relieve this critical disadvantage, it is proposed that such a comprehensive Research, Development and Innovation Center for Ocean and Coastal Engineering be established at the University of New Orleans.
