Science in society


PML is committed to communicating its science to a wide audience to ensure people understand the importance of the oceans in their lives, from climate and the sustainability of coastal margins to their role in the functioning of the Earth’s main systems. One of PML’s main objectives is to show that our science makes a difference to society through our management and understanding of the oceans.


At PML we recognise that there are various routes to achieve our aims with society. These range from working with schools and colleges, providing opportunities for advanced training, working with the media, supporting the appetite of a well informed and interested public, through to providing advice to policy makers and governments.
