2014 ARC Centre of Excellence for Integrated Coral Reef Studies
The overarching aim of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Integrated Coral Reef Studies is to provide the scientific knowledge necessary for sustaining ecosystem goods and services of the world’s coral reefs, which support the livelihoods and food security of millions of people in the tropics. The Centre will enhance Australia’s global leadership in coral reef science through three ambitious research programs addressing the future of coral reefs and their ability to adapt to change. A key outcome of the research will be providing tangible benefits to all Australians by building bridges between the natural and social sciences, strengthening capacity, and informing and supporting transformative changes in coral reef governance and management.
Funding: $28 million over 7 years Centre Director: Professor Terry Hughes Administering Organisation: James Cook University Collaborating and Partner Organisations:
