Cefas and the University of East Anglia have worked together since Cefas first became an Affiliated Institute of UEA in 1965. This enduring and productive relationship is based on our shared interest in the marine environment, climate science, provision of policy advice and scientific excellence. In the 50th year of our Affiliation, we established the Collaborative Centre for Sustainable Use of the Seas (CCSUS). Bringing together people and investment from Cefas and UEA, CCSUS provides an interdisciplinary hub for research, engagement, knowledge transfer and training.
The CCSUS vision is to combine innovative science and practical expertise to achieve sustainable use of the seas. UEA and Cefas are realising this vision by working together in partnership to generate and translate excellent multi-disciplinary research to provide practical solutions for marine systems and society. Specifically the strategic science objectives of CCSUS are to:
• Generate, synthesise and translate high quality research to support sustainable use of the seas, thus providing long-term environmental and societal benefits
• Catalyse new collaborations leading to innovative research on marine systems to address pressing marine policy challenges and to ensure salient high quality advice is readily accessible to policy makers and managers
• Promote engagement of scientists, advisers, industry, policy makers and society to identify future opportunities and priorities for better use and management of the seas
• Provide an inter-disciplinary and inter-institutional base that enhances learning and training experiences for future marine scientists and advisers from the UK and abroad
The work of the Centre is structured in six complementary Themes:
The Centre is based in the School of Environmental Sciences at UEA and provides a forum to bring together expertise from the Schools of Economics, Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Maths, International Development, Computing Science and Pharmacy as well as the Sainsbury Laboratory, John Innes Institute and Institute of Food Research on the Norwich Research Park. By coordinating with other UEA Centres including the Centre for Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences, Centre for Ecology, Evolution and Conservation, Climate Research Unit, the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research and the Centre for the Social and Economic Research on the Global Environment, CCSUS supports new collaborations on marine systems and their sustainability and complements existing UEA research.
Within its six themes CCSUS is expanding joint capability, by increasing the critical mass of marine scientists on the Norwich Research Park and encouraging the research community to develop and apply their science. The Centre is seeking to deliver a step change in scientific collaboration, to provide practical solutions to pressing challenges for marine systems and society. Its work builds on the engagement and goodwill that has characterised 50 years of existing interaction between Cefas and UEA.
