This year, the Marine Institute did something different. The publication of our first Annual Impact Report marks a shift away from activity reporting towards a focus on the tangible difference that our work delivers. Dr Rick Officer says, "As CEO of the Marine Institute, I am hugely proud of the team I lead and I am determined to better communicate what we do, how we do it, but most importantly - why it matters." #MarineScience #ImpactReport2024
