Research Group Coastal and Marine Science
Coastal and Marine Science Group
The Coastal and Marine Science Research Group undertakes research to support the sustainable use and conservation of the living resources and environments of coasts, catchments and marine environments. Our research incorporates not only the physical and biological processes that occur in these ecosystems but also their related social values and management strategies with a particular emphasis on sustainable use, conservation and protection of our natural resources.
Funding
The group has established partnerships for research and consultancies with state, national and international agencies and community environmental organisations.
External funding has been received from local councils, federal and state government departments and numerous environmental committees.
