The Marine Ecology and Society group integrates ecological, economic, social, and psychological expertise to understand the complexities of marine ecosystems and their interactions with human activities. Through high-impact research on ecosystem responses to environmental change and human pressures, we deliver evidence-based solutions that promote resilience and sustainability for both marine environments and the communities that depend on them.
