Research and management advice for the sustainable use of marine resources, with a focus on:
• Shellfish (e.g. lobsters, crabs, prawns, scallops).
• Ecological effects of human activity in the marine environment, specifically aquaculture, petroleum activity, mining and climate impacts.
• Ecological effects and dispersal of introduced benthic species (e.g. king crabs and snow crabs).
• Processes and functioning of benthic ecosystems.
