Marine Management
From exploitation of key fisheries to conservation of endangered species, marine management relies critically on science and research to inform policy decisions. Many SIMS scientists study commercial or threatened species or habitats, and work closely with government bodies to ensure that their research is relevant and accessible to decision makers. This research is very diverse, and covers both the very largest and the smallest of marine organisms, ranging from studies of how to manage tourism during whale migrations to the control of microbial pathogens of oysters.
