Providing excellence in research and research training

The Centre for Marine Socioecology (CMS) was officially opened in November 2014 with joint funding from CSIRO and the University of Tasmania to appoint three research fellows and four PhD students. The success of the Centre has seen it rapidly expand beyond this initial group of young researchers, with 36 PhD students, 3 undergrad students and over 75 researchers now associated with the Centre.

This multi-disciplinary group has come together in true inter- and transdisciplinary ways to support the Centre’s
vision and mission.
