NMSC
The National Marine Science Committee (NMSC) connects research institutions, government, industry and end users to coordinate national marine science priorities, strengthen collaboration and guide capability. It helps deliver practical, decision-ready outcomes. Over the past decade, the committee has grown from around 10 to more than 30 member organisations.
Our Purpose
The National Marine Science Committee (NMSC) ensures a national approach to building the evidence required for effective policies and decision-making so Australia can address its ocean and coastal challenges.
Our Objective
The NMSC brings together Australia’s key marine science providers and users to foster collaboration, determine priorities, align research effort with priorities, evaluate capabilities and needs, foresight emerging issues and potential solutions, and continue Australia’s influence within the international marine science community.
