Provide an interdisciplinary research environment to initiate novel research ideas and applications
Foster research and education links and collaborations with other marine facilities in the SE Asian and global scientific community
To achieve these goals, our research focuses on shallow water marine ecosystems. Specifically:
ECOLOGY
&
BIODIVERSITY
To determine the responses of marine organisms to environmental conditions and the impacts of climate change.
To achieve science-based management and conservation of fisheries and marine resources and ecosystems in a sustainable manner.
CONSERVATION
&
MANAGEMENT
To ascertain the environmental impacts of multiple stressors; from ecosystem/community to cellular and genomic responses of ecologically important and commercial species.
