PML provides capability for observing, modelling, understanding and forecasting marine ecosystems, to underpin evidence-based environmental solutions to societal challenges. PML do so by applying world-leading, integrated, scientific understanding, focused on the interactions between the marine environment and society, in estuarine, coastal and shelf waters, as well as the upper layers of the global ocean.
PML's long term objective is the sustainability of the marine ecosystem as climate regulator; a source of food, water, renewable energy, and livelihoods; and a contributor to human health and prosperous human societies.

Watch PML's new short film, “Ocean acidification: Connecting science, industry, policy and public”, commissioned by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC).
The film brings together a wide range of stakeholders and highlights the vital need for good communication between the groups, to help address global issues such as ocean acidification.
