Research
Our facilities are under construction and we can therefore not provide research laboratories at this point. However we invite researchers that don't need specialized equipment for their work to use our resources and interim facilities and help protect and preserve the pristine environment of the island of Isabela by scientifically exploring its maritime and coastal surroundings.
Targeted research areas:
- Physical oceanography
- Biological oceanography
- Fisheries
- Marine policy
- Political ecology
- Coastal zone management
- Sustainable urban development
- Geology/Volcanology
Current research projects:
- Adaptive Management: A Participatory Framework for a Fisheries Management System
