Our Aim

Our aim is to produce information for the public and decision makers to understand how marine ecosystems can be managed for the benefit of all.

Our multidisciplinary group works to understand the optimal way that commercial and recreational fisheries can be managed to meet their objectives and maximise the broader benefits of healthy marine ecosystems to society.

Expertise

We have world leading expertise in stereo-video methods to survey marine benthic and pelagic systems, gathering data on fish abundance, body-size and behaviour; with on-going collaboratorations around Australia and internationally across socio-economics, oceanography and statistical theory.
