2024 Annual Report

We are delighted to share our 2024 Annual Report. Once again, it’s a visually stunning representation of our collective work, showing both the productivity and impact of the Marine Science Programme’s research. We celebrate the six new PhD graduates over the year and 39 peer-reviewed papers, bringing the programme total to an impressive 213 papers since it began in 2017.

The marine science programme was established by the Bertarelli Foundation in 2017 to advance our understanding of large marine protected areas so they can be better managed. Our focus is on the Indian Ocean, where we address the protection of marine biodiversity and securing ocean health and use science to inform management and conservation in the region. Our highly collaborative and interdisciplinary projects are led by some of the world’s leading marine scientists who are pushing the boundaries of their fields. We have a strong emphasis on effective and innovative communication, capacity building and increasing regional opportunities and access to marine science.

Many thanks to the Bertarelli Foundation for all their support.
