Core Research Projects

Summary of findings

The Core Projects in the Strategic Research Fund for the Marine Environment (SRFME) have contributed significantly to our understanding of the marine environment of south-western Australia. Combining physical and biological oceanography with marine chemistry, biology and ecology, this research, and the future studies and publications that arise from it, will better inform decisions in managing, developing and protecting the WA marine environment.
