International Centre for Ocean Protection and Use

Welcome to Cefas’ International Centre for Ocean Protection and Use (iOPUS).

iOPUS brings together experts from across Cefas and beyond who focus on the protection and sustainable use of our rivers, estuaries, seas, and ocean.  

We aim to have a positive and lasting impact on the sustainability of ecosystems and wellbeing of society by providing evidence, tools and advice to balance the use of natural resources with nature conservation across rivers, estuaries, seas and the ocean.
