National Marine Science Centre

Diver 250x250

The National Marine Science Centre (NMSC) is part of the School of Environment, Science and Engineering. Located at Coffs Harbour on the East Australian seaboard and adjacent to the Solitary Islands Marine Park, the NMCS provides students, academic and professional researchers practical opportunities in the study of marine science and management.

Students gain first-hand experience in their chosen field, with an emphasis on utilising the protected marine environment around the Centre. Courses at the NMSC have been designed to meet a range of student needs, focusing on the expanding career opportunities in marine science and management in Australia and overseas.

The NMSC runs a small on-site Aquarium, open to the general public on weekends and during NSW school holidays. [solitaryislandsaquarium.com]
