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.

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.

I’d like to invite ~10 women in ecology to give guest lectures this Fall to my undergraduate ecology class of all women @saintmarys on research and their path in science. Any topic/study system in gen ecology is welcome! Reach out if interested! #womeninSTEM #ecology #wiewebinar

Exploring the mind-blowing ARCO-ERA5 dataset: hourly data for almost 300 climate variables, available globally from 1940 onwards!🤯

All packaged into a single cloud-friendly Zarr file, and loadable with a single line of Python code - crazy! Below: a month of wind waves + swell:
