WAMSI Westport Marine Science Program

WAMSI has partnered with Westport to undertake a major marine science program focused on Cockburn Sound.

Started in 2021, the WAMSI Westport Marine Science Program was designed to ensure the environmental impact assessment for Western Australia’s future container port is informed by rigorous, independent science, and to assist and improve the management of Cockburn Sound now and into the future.

Marine scientists from WAMSI’s partner organisations are delivering over 30 research projects in the fields of physical, biological and social science to increase knowledge of this most important and unique Western Australian coastal ecosystem. More than 100 scientists are working on the science program.
