Our team of talented people are leaders in their fields. Our working environment supports their development and skills for the future of their discipline. We celebrate our proud history and the people who shaped it. Together, we look to a future of enduring science excellence and international leadership. We are involved in hundreds of successful marine and freshwater science and technology projects each year. We use our research and innovation expertise to work towards a sustainable blue future for the planet. See all case studies Case Study Fisheries Observer Programme Volunteer fishermen are needed to contribute to the scientific data usually collected through the Observer Programme. Current Covid-19 restrictions mean that Cefas observers are not able to join commercial fishing vessels. Find out More Case Study Sharks, skates and rays – back from the brink?
