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.

“The ocean we need for the future we want” declares the @UNOceanDecade. What happens when there are competing views about the role of science re climate-impacted oceans? In @npjOceanSustain, @Lawless_Sarah_ et al. discuss options to address the tensions https://doi.org/10.1038/s44183-024-00086-2

Based on our personal experiences during the @IPCC_CH #AR6 @shobha_maharaj and I, discuss how diversity in authorship and inclusion of different disciplinary backgrounds can be improved in preparation for #AR7. @NatureClimate

This wonderful video is a love letter to the IPCC, as well as to the terrific people in Hobart who have played an outsized role in providing climate clarity through its reports @Ant_Partnership @AntarcticSciAus @CMS_UTas
