A warm welcome from the Director, Professor Melanie Austen

Sustainable management of marine resources is increasingly complex. It requires application and integration of different academic disciplines, in other words interdisciplinary approaches. These should be co-developed with stakeholders including policy makers, regulators, industry, businesses and the public, in other words transdisciplinary approaches. By working together, we are building transdisciplinary research capability to underpin sustainable management of our marine resources.
