Our science

We are the UK's largest and most diverse applied marine science centre. Our broad capability covers shelf sea dynamics, climate effects on the marine environment, ecosystems and food security.

We have organised our work into six key themes:

• observing and modelling the marine environment
  oceanography and numerical modelling, using a range of technology and tools
• climate - predicting marine impacts and adapting to change
  our evidence and potential mitigation measures
• the ecosystem approach and biodiversity
  habitat mapping and understanding connections
• assessing human impacts on the marine environment
  marine planning, emergency response and specific impacts
• promoting healthy aquaculture and mariculture
  food safety, plus aquatic animal diseases and impacts on animal health
• sustainable fisheries management
  marine, migratory and freshwater fisheries information to support management
