The ARC Centre of Excellence for Our Future Oceans will comprehensively determine how our oceans are changing, now and in the future, and develop solutions to promote ocean sustainability and a thriving blue economy. Our oceans are already changing at an unprecedented rate, with costly impacts on marine ecosystems and coastal communities worldwide. By integrating fundamental science advances, innovative analyses of new observational data, new ultra-high resolution ocean models, and training a new generation of world-class scientists, the Centre will uncover vital information about our changing oceans. This will enable proactive management of our ocean environments and resources, enhancing the health, resilience, and security of Australia’s oceans for generations to come.
