Our focus<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Marine and coastal ecosystems play a vital role in providing important ecosystem services to people and biodiversity. Cumulative pressures on coastal and marine ecosystems require innovative approaches that lead to sustainable ecological and economic benefits. Given the interactive nature of environmental, social, and economic impacts driven by increasing resource use, the need for an integrated understanding of marine and coastal ecosystems has never been higher.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator border_width=”3″][vc_single_image image=”312″ img_size=”full”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Our approach<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Our research activities span and integrate across a diverse number of pure and applied disciplines, ranging from organisms to entire ecosystems. To do this, we bring together complementary skills in ecology, geomorphology, engineering, archaeology, genomics and oceanography<\/strong> to develop scientific solutions in collaboration with key government, industry, and community partners.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator border_width=”3″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”5\/12″][vc_empty_space height=”60px”][vc_single_image image=”300″ img_size=”full”][vc_empty_space height=”15px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Our goals<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

We aim to develop integrated scientific solutions for challenges to marine and coastal ecosystems that are based on continued discoveries and proof-of-concepts. The generation and exchange of new scientific knowledge to assist policy makers and stakeholders in sound decision-making lies at the heart of this consortium.<\/p>\n

Our research themes<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Our research program includes a broad scope of all aspects of life, environment, and human relationships with the sea to form a rich centre for marine, coastal and maritime studies. Our research fits into four broad and integrated Research Themes:<\/p>\n
