Who we are:

Lincoln Marine Science Centre (LMSC) has been established to support research and tertiary level education in marine science. Located on the shore of Boston Bay in Port Lincoln, South Australia, it is situated in the heart of a region with a southern temperate climate, clean waters, abundant marine life and developed aquaculture and fishing industries.

The centre was opened in 1995 after a fund-raising appeal, and in late 1996 was expanded to cope with increasing demand. Further expansion of research facilities was completed in 2008 under the Marine Innovation South Australia project.

The facilities and location of the LMSC make it ideally suited to marine research and education. It is a research centre for:

  • Flinders University staff and associates
  • South Australian Research and Development Institute (SARDI ),
     
  • the Primary Industries and Resources South Australia, Shellfish Quality Assurance Program (PIRSA-SASQAP)

The LMSC also offers excellent facilities for visiting students and researchers including a large lecture theatre, teaching laboratory and extensive aquarium areas.

Activities include:

  • Tertiary level education in Marine Biology, Ecology and Aquaculture  (Flinders Uni & TAFE)
  • Field and laboratory based marine research
  • Courses and summer schools
  • Conferences, meetings and workshops
  • Support for visiting scientists and research groups (Australian & Overseas)
