    Why EBM?

    Aotearoa New Zealand has a vast marine estate that is increasingly under pressure, and the current legal framework for marine management is complex and fragmented.

    What we do

    Our research addresses the question: How can we best develop our marine economy, while protecting the taonga of our marine environment?
