The Centre for Marine Socioecology (CMS) was established to address the current and future use of our marine coasts and oceans. CMS is a unique collaboration between the University of Tasmania and the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), with support from the Australian Antarctic Division.

It brings together disciplinary expertise in physics, law, economics, biology, sociology, psychology, human health, art, media, philosophy and governance. CMS uses this expertise to focus on the complex issues that are developing in the management of the marine estate.

Research approach

Challenges & Research approach

Australia is a coastal nation with over 80% of the population living within 50 kilometers of the coast and our coasts and oceans play an important role ecologically, socially and economically. Australia has the sixth longest coastline and third largest exclusive economic zone globally and our marine regions provide valuable services through the provision of food, energy, transportation, tourism, conservation and recreation.

our Research

Further demands on coasts and oceans are expected with increasing coastal populations, food security and emerging industries such as renewable energies and offshore marine production systems. Managing these multiple uses, some with often conflicting objectives, to ensure sustainable ecosystems, industries and communities is a major challenge globally.

New paper out today exploring the marine habitat use of Snow Petrels tracked from East Antarctica!

Funnily enough, I’m currently on my way to Mawson station for a summer (6 months) to build upon this work with @AusAntarctic @IMASUTAS

What does Antarctica mean to you – is it a place for heroes, a place of extremity, a place of purity, a place to protect, a place that transforms? ❄️

This Antarctica Day we're celebrating @IMASUTAS researcher Dr Hanne Neilsen's new book, Brand Antarctica!
