About Us
South Australia’s seafood industry has the potential to double its value to $2 billion by 2015.
Marine Innovation SA (MISA) will help drive this future through knowledge and innovation, by integrating and expanding South Australia’s marine research capabilities, technology transfer and education and training pathways.
The program is an initiative of the South Australian Government, representing a partnership between:
- South Australian Research and Development Institute (SARDI)
- Flinders University
- University of Adelaide
- South Australian Museum
- Primary Industries and Resources SA (PIRSA)
- seafood industry
- regional communities
MISA’s vision is to establish South Australia as an internationally recognised and vibrant centre for marine science, education and ecologically sustainable seafood development.
MISA will focus on four high priority research areas: seafood quality and value-adding, aquaculture innovation, ecosystem services and biosecurity.
Excellence in marine science inspired through collaboration
