An overview of recent research at the Coastal Marine research Facility, Sulphur Point.
From Swans and Geese o the effects of the Cyclone Gabrielle, to new aquaculture targets, and on to Anti-Tumour and immuno-suppressive drugs from marine invaders, we will present a medley of research that is both cutting edge and of real time impact for a sustained healthy marine ecosystem. The focus, of course, is the Bay of Plenty.
