Research topics and projects
The below is more than a list of projects, it explains why we research what we do. The reason is simple: For the future. Protection of our marine ecosystems is a mighty challenge.
In the era of climate change, rising water temperatures and threatened species and ecosystems, the health of our oceans is fundamental to a sustainable future.
We embrace these challenges through research that is advancing knowledge, changing perceptions and informing strategies, locally, nationally and globally.
