The oceans are vitally important to human health. However, there are a multitude of problems—rising temperatures, ocean noise, and habitat destruction—threatening the health of ecosystems in today’s global oceans.
Researchers at the AWdF lead projects and initiatives with partners to reduce human impacts on oceans and increase ecosystem resilience in a changing climate.
Our Strategy
We are increasing ecosystem resilience through a multifaceted approach:

Our Strategy
We are increasing ecosystem resilience through a multifaceted approach:
- Investigating the acute and chronic implications of human impacts on marine species and ecosystems, and discerning which stressors are most detrimental and in need of remediation.
- Partnering with industry stakeholders to create solutions that improve ocean health and maintain viability.
- Reducing cumulative human impacts on marine species and ecosystems.
- Pioneering techniques to measure species and ecosystem health.
