Conserving Biodiversity
Through Research, Education and Outreach
We're empowering communities and industry towards conservation priority. The Centre for Ocean Research and Education integrates applied marine research and education into stakeholder driven programs, empowering students, citizens and industry to drive change to ultimately promote the conservation of biodiversity.
RESEARCH
Understanding impacts and processes in ephemeral environments is critical in defining conservation frameworks and management of vulnerable ecosystems. The Centre for Ocean Research and Education focuses efforts on the restoration of habitats critical to supporting biodiversity, including coral reefs, seagrass, and mangroves. In collaboration with research partners, graduate students, and local stakeholders, our main objective is to increase the visibility of conservation priority to mitigate against the loss of biodiversity.
EDUCATION
& OUTREACH
The Centre for Ocean Research and Education is committed to providing immersive, experiential learning opportunities that address contemporary conservation problems, by integrating graduate research programs with grass roots education and outreach. Our focus is to build capacity and upskill students and communities with the tools to be pragmatic with conservation of wild spaces and we believe that no matter what your level of learning or qualifications, education is a right and not a privilege.
