Rhodes University is set to lead a £20 million international collaborative project to influence ocean health and integrated ocean governance for equitable and inclusive sustainability.
The One Ocean Hub is one of 12 innovation hub programmes approved by the UK Research Innovation’s Global Challenges Research Fund and will involve more than 50 partners, including world-leading research centres, development organisations, community representatives, governments and multiple UN agencies.
Its aim is to predict, harness and share equitably environmental, socioeconomic and cultural benefits from ocean conservation and sustainable use.
Rhodes University will directly contribute to the fisheries science and governance components of the project.
The programme in South Africa will extend the already-strong links in ocean science between Nelson Mandela University, the University of Cape Town and other partners.
