Marine Science 2024
Introduction
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.
