1. Objective
1.1 This Challenge will enhance utilisation of our marine resources within environmental and biological constraints.
2. Funding

3. Specific eligibility criteria
3.1 To be eligible for funding under this Challenge the applicant must provide a proposal for research, science, and technology, or related activities that:
(a) addresses all or most of the "themes" in the table below; and
(b) is directed towards meeting the "outcome statements" in the table below:
| Themes | Outcome statements |
|---|---|
| Characterising our ocean | An integrated temporal and spatial baseline of biological and physical resources, as well as human activities, is established. This provides a basis for understanding the dynamics, sensitivities and resilience of ocean and coastal systems. |
| Understanding the dynamics and sensitivities of ocean and coastal systems | The interconnectedness between ocean systems, including human activities, is understood to enable adaptation and mitigation of impacts of change. |
| Towards effective integrated management of oceans and coasts considering environmental, societal, cultural, Māori and economic concerns | The evidence base to inform and develop management and policy frameworks is enhanced to optimise the sustainable use and resilience of coastal and ocean resources within societal, cultural, Māori and economic values, rights and interests. |
3.2 If the applicant can better meet the Challenge objective with different theme(s) and/or outcome(s) it may in its proposal vary a theme or outcome providing it gives reasons for such change. The Science Board will decide whether such change better enables the Challenge objective to be met.
