The fourteenth Sustainable Development Goal set by the United Nations is :
Life Below Water: Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development.
(Which ties in quite nicely with our Reading Challenge theme for this month!)
One of many initiatives in which JCU plays a major role in providing vital information to stakeholders and decision makers throughout the region is TropWATER: The Centre for Tropical Water and Aquatic Ecosystem Research.
This is a research group focuses on water science, management and ecosystems. It uses a multidisciplinary team of researchers to look at all facets of water and waterways, including ecology, hydrology, oceanography and resource economics. The research undertaken by TropWATER helps government bodies, the business sector, industries and communities make better and more informed decisions regarding their use of water and the impacts on the life below (and next to) water.
We have over 1000 reports, articles and other publications from the fantastic researchers at TropWATER in our repository, ResearchOnline. Topics are as wide and varied as the seas themselves.
