About Deakin Marine Research and Innovation Centre

Deakin Marine Research and Innovation Centre – Deakin Marine – is Victoria's leading university-based marine centre. Our unrivalled research breadth and expertise drives transformational outcomes for ocean-based economies and the environment. Deakin Marine's multidisciplinary research capabilities align directly with Australia's National Marine Science Plan key challenges – we seek to understand climate change impacts on temperate marine waters and to link ocean and coastal processes with socioeconomic development to drive sustainable ocean and coastal management in a changing world. Flanked by the Bass Strait, the Victorian coastline, and Port Phillip and Western Port Bays, Deakin is ideally positioned for marine research. Our strategic locations and cutting-edge facilities at Warrnambool and Queenscliff (Queenscliff Marine Science Centre) provide field access to these important waterways and the Great Southern Reef that supports some of Australia's most significant marine ecosystems. We conduct high-impact research through four interconnected nodes -Blue Carbon, Aquaculture, Coasts and People, Ocean Life and Resources - that intersect with our four themes of climate change, ecosystems, technology and First Nations. We engage with First Nations people to integrate Indigenous knowledge into our research which facilitates self-determination and management of Sea Country. We collaborate with Traditional Owner groups in marine data collection and undertake joint initiatives to close knowledge gaps on important marine flora and fauna such as shortfin eel, sharks and rays, and seaweeds. A preferred partner of industry, government, universities and community organisations, we are nationally renowned for our research in aquaculture, fisheries science, marine mapping, blue carbon, marine climate change impacts and biodiversity conservation.
