ANCORS

The Australian National Centre for Ocean Resources and Security (ANCORS) is a centre of excellence in oceans governance and maritime security knowledge services in Australia. ANCORS is a leading contributor to the Oceans and Transnational Security “Research Strength” within the University of Wollongong.

ANCORS provides multi-disciplinary university based research, education and high level advice on national and international oceans governance and law, maritime security and co-operation and ocean resource management to countries, agencies and clients in the western Pacific, Indian Ocean and Southern Ocean region and beyond, in order to help them achieve sustainable benefits from marine jurisdictions.  

The global nature of the maritime environment, its governance and security means that ANCORS has a global perspective.
