Uncover our marine environment research
Taking a multi-layered approach to marine environment research
Human activity is a destructive force when it comes to marine environments. Our land-based lives fill creeks and estuaries with rubbish, leach chemicals from landfill, and destroy coastal habitats, whilst our ocean-based activities deplete fish stocks and damage seabeds.
Understanding this complex mix of forces is vital to defining solutions, but it requires skills from a multitude of expert fields. Which is why collaboration is the driver of our research projects into marine environment processes.

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.
