NOC's biodiversity research provides vital insight into ocean habitats and their abundance of life, and how this is changing as our planet warms. With less than 25% of our seafloor mapped, much of our underwater world is still to be discovered and understood.
Our ocean is the largest, most diverse ecosystem on our planet, but changes in ocean health are affecting delicate marine life and habitats. Our biodiversity research aims to understand one of the most mysterious and crucial parts of our planet so that globally we can make informed decisions to conserve it.
SUPPORTING NOC'S BIODIVERSITY RESEARCH WILL:
- Improve our understanding of life in the ocean
- Contribute to global efforts to map the seabed
- Provide vital data for ocean conservation
- Inform the creation and monitoring of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs)
- Identify new species in unexplored regions
- Impact policy for deep-sea activities
We work with businesses and philanthropists, who are likeminded visionaries, to advance our global understanding of the ocean. To find out more about partnerships to support biodiversity please contact Jo at please contact Jo at jo.cole@noc.ac.uk or call +44 (0) 7562 167 556.
