Coastal oceanography is still in its infancy and yet there exists a plethora of commercial activities and trade along the 2 800km coastline of South Africa. The Port of Durban is the biggest and busiest port in South Africa. Unisa requires support to be able to tap deep into the opportunities for supporting economic growth through teaching and learning, research and innovation as well as engaged scholarship, while at the same time creating awareness of how to protect our marine world from degradation.

The College of Human Sciences (CHS) is developing a trans-disciplinary BSc in Marine Studies, in collaboration with the College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences and the College of Science, Engineering and Technology, among others.

The College of Law is developing a short learning programme and establishing a research group on custom and marine studies.
