Make a difference

As a centre for marine studies, we make data-driven decision-making possible, to fuel conservation efforts, change ocean management, and influence policy. If you want to have a hand in protecting endangered and vulnerable marine species, solving marine pollution, and learning more about the oceans critical role in addressing climate change – please support our mission to make the oceans healthier.

From monitoring whale migrations to studying seabirds, we employ the latest technology to enhance our marine animal research with GPS tracking devices, aerial and underwater drones, and proprietary mobile applications.

We collaborate with national citizen science research programs to measure the impact of micro and macro plastics on our coastal and marine ecosystems, alongside our own 'No Plastics Please' beach clean-up and community education projects.

Solving the degradation of marine environments won’t be possible without understanding the processes that have caused it. This is the central aim of our multi-layered research projects into the human impact on in-shore, coastal, and off-shore environments.
