National Marine Research Strategy

Australia’s Decadal National Marine Research Strategy has been Released!

Read the new report, highlighting Australia’s top marine research priorities over the next decade (2026-2036). Amongst many critical goals are a range of ambitious mCDR and OAE research objectives:

• Establish national testing sites for marine carbon dioxide removal, aligned to a coordinated national strategy for ocean-based climate solutions that includes robust monitoring, verification and guidelines.
• Undertake coordinated field trials of marine carbon dioxide removal to bridge the gap between laboratory development and full-scale deployment.
• Embed these ocean-based carbon management approaches as core components of Australia’s Net Zero Plan.

These are grounding in the recommendations provided in our recent Strategic research priorities for marine climate interventions in Australia.
