## Notice

With the support of funding from NERC a partnership has been established between Marine Biological Association (MBA), Plymouth Marine Laboratory (PML) and University of Plymouth (UoP) to foster and deliver greater investment in marine research in Plymouth. An MoU has been drawn up to provide a framework by which the partners will operate and the next phase of the project is to consolidate the role of MRP and how it operates. This will involve the appointment of a champion who will: oversee the formal launch of MRP; draw up and implement a work plan by which it will operate; and make a key contribution to identify and secure an inaugural Director.
