Track record in bringing Marine Science focus

Strategic focus Collaborative partnership network WAMSI model National impact/delivering outcome Reasonable integration of

biophysical Starting to impact decision making Strong in biophysical Go to place for staff Govt/political

support Independent check on research

delivery 5 year funding Intergration point Strategic approach Enhance collaboration Has potential to be flexible Quality of research

Tension between funding horizon & need for flexibility

Long term focus + long term funding

New tech adoption Constraints of funding Social cultural and economic

connections International engagement Infrastructure lacking Marine technology under-utilised WA lacks single integration point Management costs of integrated

priority setting Long term funding certainty

Strengths Weaknesses
