Acknowledgement of Country
The South East Queensland (SEQ) Marine Social Science Hub acknowledges the Traditional Owners and their custodianship of the lands on which we live, work, and play. We pay our respects to their Ancestors and their descendants, who continue cultural and spiritual connections to Country. We recognise their valuable contributions to Australian and global society.
Welcome to the network of marine-focussed social scientists working in South East Queensland (SEQ), Australia.
Connect with us to meet people with similar interests, share knowledge and resources, collaborate, promote the value of marine social science, and enjoy the company of colleagues and stakeholders in the South East Queensland marine environment.
We are a friendly, inclusive, collegial group dedicated to asking the hard questions about how we can best look after our precious marine ecosystems and the communities that depend upon and enjoy these marine environments.

Background
In 2018, a global network of Marine Social Scientists was established to "bring together a growing community and facilitate knowledge exchange between diverse stakeholders from across the marine and coastal sector".
Since then, the network has grown and added country-based chapters, including one in Australia . In recognition of the unique needs in particular areas of our vast country, regional "hubs" of the Australian chapter are forming. The SEQ hub is one!

Note: The Marine Social Science network defines marine social sciences broadly as any area of work that relates to the relationship between society and the sea – this could be psychology, sociology, human geography, anthropology, governance and planning, economics, sustainable development, culture and heritage, the arts, humanities and more!
