Conference Abstracts and Proceedings

The Marine and Tropical Sciences Research Facility (MTSRF) places major emphasis on the delivery of useful scientific outcomes to key stakeholders and the general community.

In order to achieve uptake of MTSRF funded research by its end users, the MTSRF recognises the importance of presenting results in a way that is clear and engaging.  Delivery of science outputs through public and conference presentations is a key objective of the MTSRF research program.

Details of selected presentations given at meetings, workshops and conferences, as well as links to conference abstracts (where possible) are provided below.

Presentations made at MTSRF Annual Conferences (2007-2010) can be accessed via the following links:
