Welcome to the Marine Biology and Ecology Research Centre
Research in the Marine Biology and Ecology Research Centre (MBERC) has contributed substantially to the understanding of how marine biodiversity is responding to environmental change and has informed management decisions at regional, national and international levels.
It is structured around three research groups and aims to address the key themes of:
(i) the influences of environmental change, fisheries and pollution on marine biodiversity
(ii) the use of large-scale temporal and spatial data for the understanding and management of marine biodiversity, and
(iii) the development and application of new approaches for biological assessment.
