SEACS Lab
Solutions for estuarine and coastal stressors
We're a lab of passionate marine ecologists within the Centre for Marine Science and Innovation, UNSW, conducting solutions-based research on human stressors in estuarine and coastal ecosystems. Headed by Associate Professor Mariana Mayer Pinto, we study a diverse range of human impacts, including urbanisation, light pollution and climate change in coastal ecosystems and potential solutions for these issues, such as eco-engineering and restoration of natural habitats.
Our research
Our research encompasses many different fields, including human impacts and multiple stressors, as well as solutions and management. Learn more about our research areas here.
