The Coastal and Marine Institute Laboratory (CMIL), formerly known as the Coastal Waters Laboratory, is an academic laboratory operated by the College of Sciences of San Diego State University (SDSU). It is located on a coastal site on the grounds of the old San Diego Naval Training Center (now part of Liberty Station).

The Laboratory focuses research on environmental problems on the coast of southern California environmental and ecological problems caused by urbanization in the coastal environment (at the land-water interface).
Current Research Projects
HPWREN

Equipment
Coastal Zone Campus
Adjacent to the Laboratory is another research laboratory, operated by the Metropolitan Wastewater Department (MWWD) of the City of San Diego, in order to consolidate marine monitoring and analytical operations. Together, this has created a “Coastal Zone Campus” on San Diego Bay to allow mutual access to and sharing of new and innovative research ideas and activities among federal regional, and local entities, and nationally known scientists and experts, in order to exchange information related to the coastal zone environment.
