The State’s leading marine researchers are set to share their science expertise with local students this week in the first of a series of teaching sessions on Western Australia’s marine environment.

Researchers at the Minderoo-UWA Deep-Sea Research Centre have uncovered the deepest fish off the Australian mainland, more than six kilometres underwater off the southwest coast.

Researchers from UWA have joined coastal management experts from government agencies, non-government agencies and industry to identify the critical research needed to improve the management, protection and sustainable use of Western Australia’s coastline.
