A centre like the Indian Ocean Marine Research
Centre will help to drive our future economic
prosperity and our future care for the environment
our future engagement with our region and
this of course is a powerful way to care for
those ocean environments and guarantee that
future generations can have some of the types
of opportunities that we enjoy today.
It's the largest facility on the edge of Indian
Ocean rim and we can provide first class high
quality marine research here and also build
capacity across the region and at the end
of the day the oceans are all connected so
it's very important that we are looking at
these issues regionally and not just in isolation.
One country from another.
The teaching and research embedded in a culture
of innovation and working with industry and
working across a whole range of different
partnerships means that the students have
the experience of the real world which is
actually where the intersection of discipline
research and innovation meet and lend itself
towards further discovery.
