Donations from people like you help us to conduct our research and advance the understanding of life in the oceans, so that we can protect them. The research in the department analyzes the effects of climatic changes on marine animals, and produces and tests new strategies for the preservation of marine life in a changing climate. Your donation will help us advance these goals and continue our research work. The donations will help fund scholarships for master's and PhD students, to carry out controlled research in the laboratory and to go on research cruises where we study marine life in the field.
