UCT-MARiS Official Launch Day - 16 March 2023

A celebration of the Official Launch of the MARiS Research Centre in it's new home space on Level 4 in the John Day Building on UCT Upper Campus. It was a special time celebrating the success of what Ma-Re has built and now continued and grown into MARiS and the research that we participate in. Many partners, associates and friends of MARiS were invited throughout the day's events, making it a great opportunity to network and discuss new research opportunities for the marine and Antarctic environment.
