Coastal Marine Ecosystems Research Centre

Our Coastal Marine Ecosystems Research Centre (CMERC) works with coastal industries and communities to develop practical and sustainable solutions for our unique coast and marine environments.

CMERC is the only research facility in Central Queensland focused on the southern Great Barrier Reef.

Our work provides sustainable solutions to protect the reef, support Australia’s blue economy, aid agricultural communities, and collaborate with local communities.

There is strong demand for innovation and evidence-based best practices, especially in verifying environmental offset projects.

CMERC’s applied research addresses these needs.
