Disease events are increasingly impacting critical marine habitats.

Microplastics have been identified in remote locations far from urban centres, including Antarctica, the Mariana Trench and the Great Australian Bi

Clothing fibres are the most abundant form of plastic found in the ecosystem. This global pollution has increased by 450% in 60-years.

The world’s coastlines are becoming rapidly urbanised, with marine life affected by a range of stressors.

The world’s coastlines are becoming rapidly urbanised, with marine life affected by a range of stressors.

The aim of this project is to define and develop bacterial consortia that have beneficial effects of the growth, health and environmental adaptatio
