The combined effort of over 23 marine research organisations, universities, and government departments and more than 500 scientists culminated yesterday in the release of the National Marine Science Plan.
The National Marine Science Plan is a ten year plan for dealing with the challenges of our marine nation. As well as identifying the research investments needed to build Australia's marine economy, the Plan identifies seven critical challenges facing Australia (marine sovereignty, security and safety; energy security; food security; biodiversity, conservation and ecosystem health; urban coastal environments; climate variability and change; and resource allocation) and provides recommendations as to how marine science can support Australia in meeting those challenges.
