Centre (SANUMARC)
The Sam Nujoma Marine and Coastal Resources Research Centre
(SANUMARC) is promoting research and development activities in the field
of Marine Science and Coastal Resources. SANUMARC serves Namibia
through promoting research and development activities in the field of marine
and coastal resources, taking into consideration the unique comparative
and competitive advantage of the Benguela cold current ecosystem and
straddling desert environment.

Research activities at the Centre are geared towards developing the fisheries
and aquaculture sectors, desert and coastal agriculture to complement
research and development efforts by the Ministries of Fisheries and Marine
Resources, and Agriculture, Water and Forestry, Ministry of Mines and Energy,
and the Ministry of Environment and Tourism.
The ultimate goal of the Centre is to develop the unique bio-resources of
the marine and coastal ecosystems for human sustainable development,
and to promote the application of science and technology in the response
to major National Developmental challenges, which cuts across National
self-sustainability and agro-processing; environment, energy and natural
resources; society, lifestyles, and health; and indigenous knowledge.
