Australia's First Marine Ecology Textbook

Marine Ecology examines Australian marine ecosystems in unprecedented scope and depth. The 23 chapters represent a collaboration of 67 authors from 37 institutions and sets a new standard in texts of marine ecology (Oxford University Press). Edited by Sean D. Connell & Bronwyn M. Gillanders.

Marine Biology on Southern Seas

Our research is distinctive for its range of marine life we study:

fish, invertebrates, plants
their role and reliance within ecosystems: e.g. seagrass, mangrove and kelp forests
connectivity and ecology of rivers, estuaries, gulfs, open coasts
spanning 100s to 1000s of kilometres of Australian coast

We respond to national & international research priorities for management:

involving government bodies responsible for policy development in their governance
necessarily encompassing very large areas of coast over long periods of time
