I am changing my life in a few ways. I am getting my masters and moving near the beach.

I have not been able to find any studies on the impact of living on the coast / the effects of the ocean on our mental state.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

How do you think someone could study the effects of the ocean on mental state? What kind of study would you design? 🙂

I don't know that studies are specific to the ocean, but there is a growing literature on the effects of nature on various things (i.e. stress reduction, cardiovascular response, rate of healing, etc.) that has been used to justify the building of "healing gardens" in some hospital settings, and other things.

There was an article in a recent APS Observer or APA Monitor (can't remember which), other than that, a lit search should turn up plenty of results.
