Our rivers and oceans are our lifeblood – a resource that connects us all and provides us with food, travel, trade, recreation, inspiration and beauty.
But climate change and pollution are threatening to destroy our marine environment and unless we take rapid action, the consequences for marine life and the ocean ecosystem could be devastating.
At Hull we're working hard to reduce the impact of chemicals, plastics and synthetic fibres on waters around the world. Our research uncovers shocking new evidence of pollution and explores ways of changing destructive practices. Find out more below.
Take the plunge and study with us – you, too, could make a difference.
