Marine Research Program
Science-driven solutions for ocean conservation
Advancing Ocean Science
Our Marine Research Program conducts cutting-edge scientific research to understand ocean ecosystems, track the impacts of climate change, and develop innovative conservation solutions. We publish our findings in peer-reviewed journals and share data openly.
By combining field research with advanced technology like satellite tracking, eDNA analysis, and AI-powered monitoring, we generate the knowledge needed to protect marine ecosystems effectively.
Research Focus Areas
- Coral Reef Resilience – Studying which coral species can adapt to warming oceans and developing heat-resistant coral strains
- Ocean Acidification – Monitoring pH changes and impacts on shellfish and other calcifying organisms
- Marine Biodiversity – Using eDNA to catalog species diversity in protected areas
- Microplastics – Tracking plastic pollution pathways and impacts on marine food webs
- Climate Migration – Documenting how species are shifting their ranges in response to warming
