Look inside our micro & macro plastics research
Using data to drive action on plastic
The issue of plastic in our oceans is a global crisis choking marine ecosystems, killing marine animals, and contaminating our food supply.
Living Ocean is an approved collaborator to the Australian Microplastics Assessment Project, and the Australian Marine Debris Initiative, two critical research programs focussed on the ongoing measurement of micro and macro plastic impact on our oceans.

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.
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.
