Marine Institute, University of Plymouth

Plymouth has a unique maritime history of discovery. True to this tradition, the University of Plymouth offers world-class teaching and research in a wide spectrum of marine subjects and works closely with its partner institutions, Plymouth Marine Laboratory, the Marine Biological Association, the National Marine Aquarium, the Diving Diseases Research Centre and the Sir Alister Hardy Foundation for Ocean Science. 

The Marine Institute has been formed to help consolidate the ongoing marine activities in the Faculties of Science, Technology and Social Science and Business into a coherent programme. A number of research groups and centres located in these Faculties belong to the University's Marine Institute. The Institute's aims are to:

• Undertake holistic research encompassing catchments, coasts and shelf seas 
• Foster a thriving, interdisciplinary research community and graduate school with world class capability 
• Enhance external and international links with stakeholders and other organisations
• Through knowledge transfer, enable sustainable stewardship of seas and coasts and their natural resources
