We work with partner organisations to tackle global marine and maritime challenges. From developing green technologies to influencing government policy, our experts from across the University are improving quality of life and the environment.
The Southampton Marine and Maritime Institute (SMMI) is a community of experts from across the University of Southampton and beyond that works to address challenges around the natural ocean environment and human use of the seas. Working in partnership with external stakeholders, we generate new collaborations, knowledge and ideas for businesses, governments, and organisations to develop wide-ranging solutions to ocean challenges. In doing so, we educate the next generation of leaders.
The SMMI is uniquely placed to provide interdisciplinary and full system-scale solutions to the global grand challenges facing our oceans. Our rich history of ocean-facing research and knowledge empowers experts from across disciplines to tackle growing ocean challenges.
We are all utterly dependent on the oceans – from the air we breathe to transportation of the food we eat; they are a cornerstone of life. For many societies oceans are a critical part of culture and identity.
We must use evidence and insights to inform decisions, ensure a pathway for progressive and just ocean governance, and promote a culture of ocean literacy globally.
