Sustainable Marine Futures

In South Australia, the successful restoration of lost seagrass communities, kelp forests, shellfish reefs, mangroves and saltmarshes will help secure the state’s socio-economic well-being and coastal ecosystem resilience. Restoration success in a fast-changing world requires the best scientific knowledge and fitfor-purpose approaches to ecosystem restoration. Our researchers are national leaders and champions of change in marine restoration. Their multidisciplinary approach brings together marine biology, social science, psychology, economics, legal studies and community wellbeing to drive policy development, legislative change and social and ecological progress.
