National Environmental Science Program (NESP) Marine and Coastal Hub
The Marine and Coastal Hub is one of four research hubs funded under the Australian Government’s National Environmental Science Program (NESP). The hub has 28 research partners and is hosted jointly by the University of Tasmania and the Reef and Rainforest Research Centre. Hub projects are co-designed with research users to meet priority national needs. They build on the experience of research partners and the achievements of previous national funding programs. They aim to enhance the environmental, cultural, social, and economic benefits derived from Australia’s marine and coastal assets by delivering knowledge and methods across six research themes.

At the ACRN, we acknowledge and pay our respects to the Traditional Custodians and First Nations Peoples and communities who have cared for marine and coastal habitats for millennia. We are committed to increasing our cultural safety and capability and ensuring that partnerships with First Nations People are preferred and explored, where possible, in marine and coastal restoration projects. Our team pays respect to the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which we live, work and play and extends that to the lands, waterways, seas, and skies of our extended network.
