Blue Assembly

Exploring the "blue turn"

Blue Assembly is an ambitious multi-year program exploring our relationship with the ocean by gathering “blue” approaches to research. It aims to upend our assumptions about the ocean, its role in human life, and its future in the hope that we might inform policy around climate and the future of global communities.

Developed in collaboration with UQ scholars including researchers at the Centre for Marine Science, one of Australia's largest and most diverse marine research groups.
