This strategy sets the general direction for future marine science across the UK for the period 2010 to 2025 by:

  • identifying high level priority areas for marine science
  • tackling cross-cutting barriers, to help deliver the science

The strategy has been developed jointly by the UK government and the devolved administrations through the Marine Science Co-ordination Committee, in liaison with the UK marine science community and other stakeholders.
