Marine Biodiversity Research Hub

The Marine Biodiversity Research Hub is a collaboration between the University of Tasmania, CSIRO, Geoscience Australia, the Australian Institute of Marine Science and Museum Victoria.  The Hub will analyse the patterns and dynamic of marine biodiversity to determine the appropriate units and models for effectively predicting Australia’s marine biodiversity. It will develop and deliver the tools needed to manage Australia’s marine biodiversity.

CERF Program
The Marine Biodiversity Research Hub is funded through the Commonwealth Environment Research Facilities Program (CERF), administered through the Australian Government’s Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts. The key aim of CERF is to provide sound advice to inform environmental public policy objectives and to better the management of Australia’s unique environment. The University of Tasmania is the Hub coordinator and signed the Funding Agreement with the Commonwealth in May 2007. The Hub continues until June 2010 and will receive funding of $6 million under the CERF Program. The Partners are contributing $12million of their own funds to the initiative.
