CMS supported the Ocean Visions 2021 Summit held on the 18 – 21 of May. The summit involved 5 campuses around the world, including Hobart. The Summit was a huge success with more than 2300 registered attendees from almost 80 countries gathering to work on ocean solutions.
Two in-person discussion panels were held in Hobart which were organised by our CMS Director Prof Gretta Pecl, CMS members Dr Valeriya Komyakova and Dr Maree Fudge, and Dr Karen Evans from CSIRO.
