Welcome to the website of the Coastal and Marine Resources Centre

The primary objective of the CMRC is to make a significant contribution to the scientific understanding of coastal and marine environments and their management. The CMRC is based in the Lewis Glucksman Marine Facility, University College Cork, which is located at the Irish Naval Base, Haulbowline.

MERC-Ireland: A significant objective of the Centre’s strategy 2009-2014 is to contribute to the development of Ireland’s ocean energy sector by providing a diverse range of expertise to underpin the marine spatial planning process. This is achieved through CMRC participation in the Maritime and Energy Cluster (MERC-Ireland).
