Ocean Technologies
Expanding the horizons of ocean exploration, leading to deeper understanding of marine coastal processes, greater resilience among ocean resources and the development of new products from the sea
New technologies have greatly accelerated possibilities for ocean exploration, for the development of new tools for fisheries management and for environmental assessment and protection. Modern molecular techniques have allowed for the identification, extraction and development of new products and processes. Insights from genetic testing are changing the ways that scientist identify and quantify fish and shellfish populations. WSG research is geared to capitalize on these new technologies and techniques.
Research Goals
Create and apply molecular techniques to identify, extract and develop new products and processes.
