The Centre for Marine Applied Research (CMAR) leads and supports research projects in collaboration with industry, government, community and other marine user groups that support the sustainable development of coastal resources in Nova Scotia. CMAR collects and analyzes biophysical and socio-economic data that provide the foundation for science-based decision making and foster innovation necessary to advance the long-term sustainable development of the fisheries and aquaculture industries.
CMAR was established to support the Nova Scotia Department of Fisheries and Aquaculture’s growth strategy. It is a division of Perennia Food & Agriculture Inc.
